Normal control charts with nonparametric safeguard
نویسنده
چکیده
Parameter estimation causes a considerable stochastic error in standard Shewhart charts. This problem can be solved using suitable correction factors. But if the normality assumption itself fails, in addition a nonvanishing model error will occur. By then, a nonparametric alternative, such as the recently proposed MIN chart, might be a better idea throughout. However, for those reluctant to give up on the Shewhart chart, a third possibility is offered here. One sticks with this traditional chart as long as the data suggest that the resulting model error is acceptable. Only if this not the case, the MIN chart kicks in and as such serves as a nonparametric safeguard.

Nonparametric Shewhart-type Quality Control Charts in Fuzzy Environment
Nonparametric control charts are presented in order to figure out the problem of detecting changes in the process median (or mean), or changes in the variability process where there is limited knowledge regarding the underlying process. When observations are reported imprecise, then it is impossible to use classical nonparametric control charts. This paper is devoted to the problem of c...
متن کاملMann - Withney multivariate nonparametric control chart.
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 requi...
متن کاملNonparametric Control Charts for Variability Using Runs Rules
In this paper, two Shewhart-type nonparametric control charts based on runs rules are developed for monitoring the changes in the process variability. The charts are based on two nonparametric tests for equality of variances. The performance of the proposed control charts is evaluated for the normal, light tailed and heavy tailed distributions through average run length using simulations.
متن کاملOn Nonparametric Statistical Process Control of Univariate Processes
This paper considers statistical process control (SPC) of univariate processes when the parametric form of the process distribution is unavailable. Most existing SPC procedures are based on the assumption that a parametric form (e.g., normal) of the process distribution can be specified beforehand. In the literature, it has been demonstrated that their performance is unreliable in cases when th...
متن کاملNormal, Parametric and Nonparametric Control Charts: a Data Driven Choice
Standard control charts are often seriously in error when the distributional form of the observations differs from normality. Recently, control charts have been developed for larger parametric families. A third possibility is to apply a suitable (modified version of a) nonparametric control chart. This paper deals with the question when to switch from the control chart based on normality to a p...
