Sensitivity of a Cusum Chart for Dispersion to the Independence Assumption
نویسنده
چکیده
Most control charts for variables data are constructed upon the assumption that the observations from a process are independent. In most applications however this assumption does not hold. The performance of process control schemes have to be evaluated in such circumstances. However most of the work published deal with shifts in the location of correlated processes. In this paper, the ARL performance of a CUSUM chart for process dispersion is analyzed, when the process does not comply with the assumption of independence. The ARL performance of the CUSUM chart for dispersion derived assuming independent observations is compared with that when the chart is used with autoregressive processes AR(1) with diierent degrees of correlation. It is found that the correlation structure increases the rate of false alarms of the CUSUM chart for. Also this chart is found much less sensitive in detecting changes in the process dispersion.

Usually, in monitoring schemes the nominal value of the process parameter is assumed known. However, this assumption is violated owing to costly sampling and lack of data particularly in healthcare systems. On the other hand, applying a fixed control limit for the risk-adjusted Bernoulli chart causes to a variable in-control average run length performance for patient populations with dissimilar...
متن کاملEnhanced Cumulative Sum Charts for Monitoring Process Dispersion
The cumulative sum (CUSUM) control chart is widely used in industry for the detection of small and moderate shifts in process location and dispersion. For efficient monitoring of process variability, we present several CUSUM control charts for monitoring changes in standard deviation of a normal process. The newly developed control charts based on well-structured sampling techniques - extreme r...

Usually, in monitoring a proportion p < /em>, the binary observations are considered independent; however, in many real cases, there is a continuous stream of autocorrelated binary observations in which a two-state Markov chain model is applied with first-order dependence. On the other hand, the Bernoulli CUSUM control chart which is not robust to autocorrelation can be applied two-sided co...

In many processes in real practice at the start-up stages the process parameters are not known a priori and there are no initial samples or data for executing Phase I monitoring and estimating the process parameters. In addition, the practitioners are interested in using one control chart instead of two or more for monitoring location and variability of processes. In this paper, we consider a s...

The reliability data is getting used to monitor and improve the quality of products or services. Nowadays, most of products or services are the results of processes with dependent stages referred to as multi-stage process. In these processes, the quality characteristics are affected by the quality characteristics in the previous stages, called as cascade property. In some cases, it is not possi...
