Abstract
A probabilistic treatment of the Pareto chart can provide benefits to the fields of quality
control, sensitivity analysis, and conceptual design. The probabilistic Pareto chart can
inform a decision-maker about the relative significance of distributed factors and highlight
anomalies in a dataset. This investigation provides a framework for creating a probabilistic
Pareto chart, as well as examples to enable a discussion of the information provided by
both the deterministic and probabilistic Pareto charts. The applications presented in this
investigation demonstrate the probabilistic Pareto chart’s ability to highlight anomalous
trends and to determine the significance of variables in non-linear functions.
