EXIT Charts

With wide applications of Turbo Principle in communications engineering, the EXIT Charts (Extrinsic Information Transfer Charts) has been a powerful tool to visualize the convergence behavior of iterative decoding process based on mutual information. Within this report, an introduction to EXIT Charts, its background, properties and applications are presented to allow the audience be familiar wi...

MINDCUMIN charts

A serious drawback of classical control charts is their high sensitivity to deviations from normality. By now, many alternative procedures, often of a nonparametric nature, have been proposed. A danger with these competitors is that unrealistically large Phase I samples might be needed. This can be avoided by using groups of, rather than individual (IND), observations during Phase II. A recentl...

CUMIN charts

Classical control charts are very sensitive to deviations from normality. In this respect, nonparametric charts form an attractive alternative. However, these often require considerably more Phase I observations than are available in practice. This latter problem can be solved by introducing grouping during Phase II. Then each group minimum is compared to a suitable upper limit (in the twosided...

Answering it with Charts: Dialogue in Natural Language and Charts

A methodology is proposed for taking queries and requests expressed in natural language as input and answering them in charts through organizing that interaction into felicitous dialogue. Charts and graphics, as well as languages, are important modes of communication. This is especially true of those which are used frequently when people analyze huge amount of data interactively, in order to fi...
