متن کاملCUSUM charts for detecting special causes in integrated process control
This paper investigates control charts for detecting special causes in an ARIMA(0,1,1) process that is being adjusted automatically after each observation using a minimum mean-squared error adjustment policy. It is assumed that the adjustment mechanism is designed to compensate for the inherent variation due to the ARIMA(0,1,1) process, but it is desirable to detect and eliminate special causes...
متن کاملMultivariate statistical process control charts: an overview
In this paper we discuss the basic procedures for the implementation of multivariate statistical process control via control charting. Furthermore, we review multivariate extensions for all kinds of univariate control charts, such as multivariate Shewhart-type control charts, multivariate CUSUM control charts and multivariate EWMA control charts. In addition, we review unique procedures for the...
متن کاملHigher Rates of Clostridium difficile Infection among Smokers
OBJECTIVES Cigarette smoking has been shown to be related to inflammatory bowel disease. We investigated whether smoking affected the probability of developing Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). METHODS We conducted a longitudinal study of 16,781 older individuals from the nationally representative Health and Retirement Study. Data were linked to files from the Centers for Medicare and Me...
