title: "processbehavior: Process Behavior Charts and Variation Analysis for Python"
abstract: >-
  A Python implementation of Thomas A. Bishop's Variation Analysis System (VAS):
  three-state design-state lineage detection (planned / observed / analytical),
  process behavior charts, R1-R6 residual variance decomposition, capability
  indices, and Taguchi loss functions. Analytical outputs are validated
  assertion-by-assertion against Bishop's published Minitab reference results.
