Mann - Withney multivariate nonparametric control chart.
Authors
Abstract:
In many quality control applications, the necessary distributional assumptions to correctly apply the traditional parametric control charts are either not met or there is simply not enough information or evidence to verify the assumptions. It is well known that performance of many parametric control charts can be seriously degraded in situations like this. Thus, control charts that do not require a specific distributional assumption to be valid, so-called nonparametric or distribution-free charts, are desirable in practice. In this paper, a simple to use multivariate nonparametric control chart is introduced. The chart is based on the multivariate two sample Mann-Withney Wilcoxon test for equality of location vectors of two populations. Using simulated data we show that there are situations in which the Mann-Withney multivariate control chart has a better performance compared with T2 control chart.

A Nonparametric Control Chart based on the Mann-Whitney Statistic
Nonparametric or distribution-free charts can be useful in statistical process control when there is limited knowledge about the underlying process. In this paper a Shewhart-type chart is considered for the location, based on the Mann-Whitney statistic. The control limit calculations use Lugannani-Rice saddlepoint, Edgeworth and other approximation methods along with Monte Carlo estimation and ...

Multivariate control charts such as Hotelling`s T^ 2 and X^ 2 are commonly used for monitoring several related quality characteristics. These control charts use correlation structure that exists between quality characteristics in an attempt to improve monitoring. The purpose of this article is to discuss some issues related to the G chart proposed by Levinson et al. [9] for detecting shifts in ...
full textA Nonparametric Change-Point Control Chart
I N STATISTICAL process control (SPC), one major concern is whether there has been a change of the distribution from the target in the process. To answer this question, we have to distinguish the variation due to real change of distribution (assignable causes) from that due to random error (chance causes). Many kinds of control charts serve this purpose. When there is no change and the process ...

In many applications the shift directions of observation vectors are limited, which allows focusing detection power on a limited subspace with improved sensitivity. This paper develops a new multivariate nonparametric statistical process control chart for monitoring location parameters, which is based on integrating a directional multivariate spatial-sign test and exponentially weighted moving ...
