Figura 1. – Gráfico de análise sequencial experimental. O gráfico apresenta limites de monitoramento, limites de futilidade, limites convencionais e tamanho de informações necessárias. O gráfico é dividido pelo limite de monitoramento e limite de futilidade em quatro zonas: área de benefício, área de dano, cunha interna e zona não estatisticamente significativa. Adaptado de Kang H.5
