Processes characterized by high dimensional and mixture data challenge traditional statistical process control charts. In this study, we propose a multivariate control chart based on the Gower distance that can handle a mixture of continuous and categorical data. An extensive simulation study was conducted to examine the properties of the proposed control chart under various scenarios and compa...

ABSTRACT We believe that conflicting decision signals resulting from examining Shewhart Mean and Variability Control Charts produce undesirable consequences. Ther...

in this paper, a new t-s fuzzy hyperbolic delay model for a class of nonlinear systems with time-varying delay, is presented to address the problems of stability analysis and feedback control. fuzzy controller is designed based on the parallel distributed compensation (pdc), and with a new lyapunov function, delay dependent asymptotic stability conditions of the closed-loop system are derived v...

The combination of Shewhart control charts and an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control charts to simultaneously monitor shifts in the mean output of a production process has proven very effective in handling both small and large shifts. To improve the sensitivity of the control chart to detect off-target processes, we propose a combined Shewhart-EWMA (CSEWMA) control chart for m...

The state-of-the art of psychological knowledge about the personality types is distilled to provide a basis for the specification of fuzzy agents with dynamic personality for the simulation of human behavior. The thirty facets, clustered in five traits (or, factors) to determine the personality types are outlined. Three concise representations of the primary characteristics of human personality...
