Estimating the Time of a Step Change in Gamma Regression Profiles Using MLE Approach

author

Abstract:

Sometimes the quality of a process or product is described by a functional relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables referred to as profile. In most researches in this area the response variable is assumed to be normally distributed; however, occasionally in certain applications, the normality assumption is violated. In these cases the Generalized Linear Models (GLM) such as Gamma regression models are used to characterize the profile. Also, in statistical process control finding the real time of change in process, called as change point, is necessary because it leads to saving time and cost in finding assignable cause(s). Therefore, in this paper we consider Gamma regression profile and use maximum likelihood to estimate the real time of a step change in Phase II. We evaluate accuracy and precision of the proposed change point estimator by simulation. The results show the proposed change point estimator is effective in estimating the real time of step shifts in the process parameters of Gamma regression profiles. Also, a confidence set for the process change point based on the logarithm of the likelihood function is presented. Finally, the performance of the estimator is illustrated through a numerical example.

Estimating the Step-Change Time of the Location Parameter in Multistage Processes Using MLE

In this paper maximum likelihood step-change-point estimators of the location parameter, the out-of-control sample, and the out-of-control stage are developed for autocorrelated multistage processes. To do this, the multistage process and the concept of change detection are first discussed. Then, a time-series model of the process is presented. Assuming step changes in the location parameter of...

Identifying the time of a step change in AR(1) auto-correlated simple linear profiles

Assuming a first-order auto-regressive model for the auto-correlation structure between observations, in this paper, a transformation method is first employed to eliminate the effect of auto-correlation. Then, a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of a step change in the parameters of the transformed model is derived and three separate EWMA control charts are used to monitor the parameters of th...

A Novel Clustering Approach for Estimating the Time of Step Changes in Shewhart Control Charts

  Although control charts are very common to monitoring process changes, they usually do not indicate the real time of the changes. Identifying the real time of the process changes is known as change-point estimation problem. There are a number of change point models in the literature however most of the existing approaches are dedicated to normal processes. In this paper we propose a novel app...
