Fundamentals of Regression Analysis
Fundamentals of Regression Analysis
podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg
Most of us are familiar with the data analysis method called regression analysis. Maybe not familiar enough in some cases. The analysis allows us to identify and model trends or relationships. For example, we might examine the relationship between the speed of a production line and the number of out-of-spec items.
While regression analysis is a common method that many of us use regularly, understanding some of the limitations and options can enhance our analysis insights and accuracy. Understanding the assumptions and how to test them is a fundamental skill worth mastering.
Let’s explore a few of the limitations, checks, and options when taking a look at some data. From checking assumptions to assessing the goodness of fit, and a quick exploration of various approaches beyond simple linear regression.

RM 178: Behind the Alloy: Soldering Materials Process Control, & Reliability Shantanu Joshi & Greg Starrett
Behind the Alloy: soldering Materials Process Control, & Reliability Shantanu Joshi & Greg Starrett
This is the second of four episodes on the subject of soldering materials.
In today’s episode, continuing the subject of soldering materials, diving deep into the science, strategy, and subtleties behind one of the most foundational elements of electronic assembly: soldering materials.
Joining me are two experts from KOKI Solder—Shantanu Joshi, Head of Customer Solutions and Operational Excellence, and Greg Starrett, General Manager of North American Operations. Together, they bring decades of experience in solder chemistry, process engineering, and real-world reliability.
We’ll explore how soldering materials influence long-term performance, how material and process decisions interact, and what assemblers should consider when aiming for high-reliability outcomes.
From surface finishes and flux residues to void mitigation and future trends in solder formulation, this episode offers practical insights that go well beyond the datasheet.
So whether you’re on the factory floor, in the lab, or managing quality and reliability at scale—this conversation is for you.

QDD 180: How to Choose Risk Tools That Actually Help Decisions
How to Choose Risk Tools That Actually Help Decisions
If you reach for the nearest “risk” template, it might cause more problems.
There are two very different jobs we ask risk tools to do. In this episode, we talk about how to pick the one that actually moves your project forward.
- identification tools for unknown unknowns (like FMEA and preliminary hazard analysis) that systematically surface risks to users, systems, and environments
- decision tools for known unknowns that clarify impact, likelihood, and uncertainty so teams can choose a path with confidence.
Along the way, we call out organizational risks that belong in resilience planning, not product FMEAs.
