paretochartMenu {RcmdrPlugin.UCA}

Menu option to make a Pareto chart

Description

Within the menu "Quality Control" -> "Pareto Chart", a new entry is provided to make a Pareto chart in which a factor type variable is represented in decreasing order of frequencies. This graph is often used to identify the most common causes of a failure. This option uses the paretochart function from the qicharts2 package. For more information see paretochart.
