This paper presents the estimation methods of packet inter-arrival times. The approach is based on neural network models for predicting the packet inter-arrival times by learning patterns and characteristics of observed traffics. The proposed methods are compared with the familiar exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) estimator. Evaluation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the pro...

To monitor time and magnitude, different types of control charts have been proposed in the literature. This article proposes a new maximum exponentially weighted moving average (Max-EWMA) chart by assuming Weibull distribution. The test-statistic Max-EWMA consists two EWMA statistics, where one statistic is used for monitoring magnitude while other to interval between events. performances asses...

The “predictor-corrector” feedback controller, a process adjustment scheme proposed for semiconductor manufacturing run-to-run processes that drift, is extended to the multiple input–multiple output case. The controller is based on two coupled multivariate exponentially-weighted-moving-average (EWMA) equations, thus its performance depends on the choices of EWMA weight matrices. Stability condi...

Control charts are extensively used in processes and are very helpful in determining the special cause variations so that a timely action may be taken to eliminate them. One of the charting procedures is the Shewhart-type control charts, which are used mainly to detect large shifts. Two alternatives to the Shewhart-type control charts are the cumulative (CUSUM) control charts and the exponentia...

Time-weighted graphs are used to detect small shifts in statistical process control. The aim of this study is to evaluate the inclination of the acetabular component with CUmulative SUM (CUSUM) chart, Moving Average (MA) chart, and Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) chart. The data were obtained directly from thirty patients who had undergone total hip replacement surgery at Ondokuz M...

The control chart is a very popular tool of statistical process control. It is used to determine the existence of special cause variation to remove it so that the process may be brought in statistical control. Shewhart-type control charts are sensitive for large disturbances in the process, whereas cumulative sum (CUSUM)–type and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA)–type control charts ...

The Internet routers employing the random early detection (RED) algorithm for congestion control suffer from the problem of chaotic queue oscillation. It is well known that the slowly varying nature of the average queue size computed using an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) used in the RED scheme causes this chaotic behavior. This paper presents a new mathematical function to model...
