Monte Carlo Simulation Design for Evaluating Normal-Based Control Chart Properties

چکیده
The advent of more complicated control charting schemes has necessitated the use of Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) methods. Unfortunately, few sources exist to study effective design and validation of MCS methods related to control charting. This paper describes the design, issues, considerations and limitations for conducting normal-based control chart MCS studies, including choice of random number generator, simulation size requirements, and accuracy/error in simulation estimation. This paper also describes two design strategies for MCS for control chart evaluations and provides the programming code. As a result, this paper hopes to establish de facto MCS schemes aimed at guiding researchers and practitioners in validation and control-chart evaluation MCS design.

Monte Carlo Simulation for Treatment Planning Optimization of the COMS and USC Eye Plaques Using the MCNP4C Code
Introduction: Ophthalmic plaque radiotherapy using I-125 radioactive seeds in removable episcleral plaques is often used in management of ophthalmic tumors. Radioactive seeds are fixed in a gold bowl-shaped plaque and the plaque is sutured to the scleral surface corresponding to the base of the intraocular tumor. This treatment allows for a localized radiation dose delivery to the tumor with a ...

Normality is a common assumption for many quality control charts. One should expect misleading results once this assumption is violated. In order to avoid this pitfall, we need to evaluate this assumption prior to the use of control charts which require normality assumption. However, in certain cases either this assumption is overlooked or it is hard to check. Robust control charts and bootstra...

متن کاملThe Bootstrap S-chart for Process Variability: an Alternative to Mad Chart
In statistical process control, the control charts are the most powerful tools for assessing the process behaviour. The Shewhart S chart is a standard tool for determining process variability. Similar to S chart, the chart based on Median Absolute Deviation from the sample median namely MAD estimator is also considered robust for both normal and non-normal processes. As ̅ and are considered unbi...
