Control charts play a beneficial role in the manufacturing process by reduction of non-compatible products and improving final quality. In line with these aims, several adaptive methods which samples can be taken variable sampling rates intervals have been proposed area statistical control (SPC). some SPC applications, it is important to monitor relationship between response independent variabl...

Methods for choosing an appropriate sample size in animal experiments have received much attention in the statistical and biological literature. Due to ethical constraints the number of animals used is always reduced where possible. However, as the number of animals decreases so the risk of obtaining inconclusive results increases. By using a more efficient experimental design we can, for a giv...

Australia exports about 150,000 to 200,000 tons of manufacturing beef to the United States annually. Each lot is tested for Escherichia coli O157 using the N-60 sampling protocol, where 60 small pieces of surface meat from each lot of production are tested. A risk assessment of E. coli O157 illness from the consumption of hamburgers made from Australian manufacturing meat formed the basis to ev...

Abstract The Law of Large Numbers tells us that as the sample size (N) is increased, the sample mean converges on the population mean, provided that the latter exists. In this paper, we investigate the opposite effect: keeping the sample size fixed while increasing the number of outcomes (M) available to a discrete random variable. We establish sufficient conditions for the variance of the samp...

BACKGROUND Reference charts are widely used in healthcare as a screening tool. This study aimed to produce reference growth charts for school children from West Malaysia in comparison with the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) chart. METHODS A total of 14,360 school children ranging from 7 to 17 years old from six states in West Malaysia were collected. A two-stag...

the cúk converter, which has voltage buck and boost ability, offers high flexibility as an interface device for solar panels. in addition, current ripple can be more reduced because of two input and output inductors at both sides. this paper presents a new application of current-variable inductors in a cúk converter that reduces the size and capacity of storage elements. because of two inductor...

Two double sampling T 2 charts are discussed. They only differ in how the second sample is used to suggest to the practitioner the state of the process. An optimal method using a genetic algorithm is given for designing these charts based on the average run length of the (ARL). An analytical method is used to determine run length performance of the chart. Comparisons are made with various other...
