Standard control charts are based on the assumption that the observations are normally distributed. In practice, normality often fails and consequently the false alarm rate is seriously in error. Application of a nonparametric approach is only possible with many Phase I observations. Since nowadays such very large sample sizes are usually not available, there is need for an intermediate approac...

The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood. The dialysis is a procedure to replace the renal (kidney) function through Haemodialysis machine in people who suffer from end stage renal disease. Haemodialysis machine provide the fluids of dialysis for the cleaning of the patient’s blood and removal of excess fluid. One aspect to take care in the development of a dialys...

Chattering alarms repeatedly make transitions between alarm and non-alarm states without response from operators, and severely deteriorate the performance of industrial alarm systems. Two rules are formulated based on the metrics of alarm durations and intervals to detect chattering alarms caused by random noise and oscillation. An online method is proposed to reduce the number of the chatterin...
