Talk:Taguchi loss function

This article really doesn't need to exist - the Taguchi loss function is better explained within the Taguchi methods article itself. That said, the following was in the article but is actually commentary, so moving it here. Anastrophe (talk) 05:25, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

(The following is a different author's contribution, I am merely quoting it):

NOTE: Lean Dynamics and Six Sigma have little to do with Taguchi and his work, other than being influenced by it. If being influenced is enough to merit mention in a definition, then this should be a much longer list. This looks a bit like a clever attempt to promote a certain point of view, which is not scholarship, but promotion. The only books that should be quoted are those by Taguchi and his direct followers in Robust Design, and Taguchi Design: "Introduction to Quality Engineering, Designing Quality into Products and Processes" Genichi Taguchi, Asian Productivity Organization, 1986 and the excellent introduction to Robust Design by one of his Students "Madhav S. Phadke" published by Prentice Hall "Quality Engineering using Robust Design."
