The presence of asymmetric data in production processes or service operations has prompted the development new monitoring schemes. In this article, an adapted version exponentially weighted moving averages (EWMA) control chart with dynamic limits is proposed to monitor mean samples from skew-normal distribution. detection ability online was investigated by simulating average run length (ARL) pe...

A local likelihood estimator for a nonparametric nuisance function is proposed in the context of semiparametric skew-normal distributions. Constraints imposed on such functions result in a nonparametric estimator with a different target function for maximization from classical local likelihood estimators. The optimal asymptotic semiparametric efficiency bound on parameters of interest is achiev...
