Control charts are used to identify the presence of assignable cause of variation in the process. Non-parametric control chart is an emerging area of recent development in the theory of SPC. Its main advantage is that it does not require any knowledge about the underlying distribution of the variable. In this paper a non-parametric control chart for controlling variability has been developed. I...

Mukherjee and Chakraborti 1 proposed a single distribution-free (nonparametric) Shewhart-type chart based on the Lepage 2 statistic for simultaneously monitoring both the location and the scale parameters of a continuous distribution when both of these parameters are unknown. In the present work, we consider a single distribution-free CUSUM chart, based on the Lepage 2 statistic, referred to as...

Ferric citrate is an approved phosphate binder for use in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis. Clinical trials demonstrated that ferric citrate controlled serum phosphorus levels and increased iron stores. The aim of this retrospective chart review was to evaluate real-world bone mineral and anemia parameter data from patients treated with ferric citrate. 92 adult dialysis patients...

PARTICIPANTS These comprised 733 singleton newborns delivered in the hosp...

the most well-known uni-arribute control chart used to monitor the number of nonconformities per unit is the shewhart type c-chart. in this paper, a new method is proposed in an attempt to reduce the false alarm rate in the c-chart. to do this, the decision on beliefs (dob) concept is first uti [1] corresponding author e-mail: [email protected]   lized to design an iterat...

Control limits in traditional Multivariate Quality Control Charts (MQCC), such as Hotelling's T control chart, Multivariate Cumulative Sum (MCUSUM) and Multivariate Exponentially-Weighted Moving Average (MEWMA) control charts are based on multivariate normal assumption. This assumption is not usually satisfied, especially in real life applications. The purpose of a control chart based on suppor...
