Estimation of Industrial Process Capabilities: Some Estimators to Overcome the Obstacle of Non-normal Distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this research, we propose to use the smooth adaptive estimator to estimate the process mean. Since the smooth adaptive estimator is robust for non-normal processes and outliers, it can be used in the estimator of the Process Capability Indices (PCIs). The resulting indices are called smooth adaptive PCIs, which will also be robust estimators. We simu late extensively the biases and mean square errors of these smooth adaptive PCIs. In many cases the mean square errors of the smooth adaptive PCIs are smaller than those of the classical estimators.

Modified Maximum Likelihood Estimation in First-Order Autoregressive Moving Average Models with some Non-Normal Residuals
When modeling time series data using autoregressive-moving average processes, it is a common practice to presume that the residuals are normally distributed. However, sometimes we encounter non-normal residuals and asymmetry of data marginal distribution. Despite widespread use of pure autoregressive processes for modeling non-normal time series, the autoregressive-moving average models have le...

متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimators with Uncertainty Measures for NEF-QVF Populations
The paper proposes empirical Bayes (EB) estimators for simultaneous estimation of means in the natural exponential family (NEF) with quadratic variance functions (QVF) models. Morris (1982, 1983a) characterized the NEF-QVF distributions which include among others the binomial, Poisson and normal distributions. In addition to the EB estimators, we provide approximations to the MSE’s of t...
متن کاملA Two-Phase Robust Estimation of Process Dispersion Using M-estimator
Parameter estimation is the first step in constructing any control chart. Most estimators of mean and dispersion are sensitive to the presence of outliers. The data may be contaminated by outliers either locally or globally. The exciting robust estimators deal only with global contamination. In this paper a robust estimator for dispersion is proposed to reduce the effect of local contamination ...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Shift Point in Shape Parameter of Inverse Gaussian Distribution Under Different Loss Functions
In this paper, a Bayesian approach is proposed for shift point detection in an inverse Gaussian distribution. In this study, the mean parameter of inverse Gaussian distribution is assumed to be constant and shift points in shape parameter is considered. First the posterior distribution of shape parameter is obtained. Then the Bayes estimators are derived under a class of priors and using variou...
