In this talk, we discuss several control charts for monitoring multivariate processes. These control charts are based on the concept of data depth. We begin with reviewing control charts introduced in Liu (1995). We further construct several new depth based multivariate control charts. Unlike the commonly used multivariate control charts, the charts discussed in this talk are all distribution f...

BACKGROUND Numerous studies have suggested that microbial agents may promote atherosclerosis. A smaller body of research has suggested that acute respiratory infection may be a risk factor for myocardial infarction (MI). We hypothesized that influenza vaccine might reduce the risk of recurrent MI in patients with documented coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS AND RESULTS A case-control stud...

There is a considerable amount of ongoing research on the use of Bayesian control charts for detecting a shift from a good quality distribution to a bad quality distribution in univariate and multivariate processes. It is widely claimed that Bayesian control charts are economically optimal; see, for example, Calabrese (1995) [Bayesian process control for attributes. Management Science, DOI: 10....
