Abstract

Despite their widespread use as performance measures in robust design, Taguchi's signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) do not always minimize quadratic loss. The relationship between minimization of expected quadratic loss and Taguchi's SNR was articulated by León et al. 1. Their performance measure independent of adjustment (PerMIA) is a general performance measure which justifies the use of the Taguchi two-step procedures as a method of minimizing quadratic loss under certain models. We review the basic conceptual framework of the PerMIA and the literature related to this performance measure.
