In the manufacture of metal fasteners in a progressive die operation, and other industrial situations, important quality dimensions cannot be measured on a continuous scale, and parts are classified into groups using a step gauge. This article proposes a version of exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control charts applicable to monitoring the grouped data for process shifts. The run l...

We introduce QuantTree Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (QT-EWMA), a novel change-detection algorithm for multivariate datastreams that can operate in nonparametric and online manner. QT-EWMA be configured to yield target Run Length (ARL\(_0\)), thus controlling the expected time before false alarm. Control over alarms has many practical implications is rarely guaranteed by algorithms moni...

Unlike a Shewhart chart, the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) and cumulative sum (CUSUM) charts are memory control charts (also known as time weighted control charts) that are used for a quick detection of small shifts in the process mean. Control charts that combine information from present and past samples, like the EWMA and CUSUM charts have the ability to detect process changes ...

Many extensions and modifications have been made to standard process monitoring methods such as the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) chart cumulative sum (CUSUM) chart. In addition, new schemes proposed based on alternative weighting of past data, usually put greater emphasis data less weight current recent data. other cases, output one method, EWMA statistic, is used input another ...

A simple algorithm is introduced for computing the run length distribution of a monitoring scheme combining a Shewhart chart with an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average control chart. The algorithm is based on the numerical approximation of the integral equations and integral recurrence relations related to the run-length distribution. In particular, a modified Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature rule...

End-to-end available bandwidth estimation is very important for bandwidth dependent applications, quality-of-service verification and traffic engineering. Although several techniques and tools have been developed in the past, producing precise estimations in real-time still remains challenging, mainly due to the lack of control on the measured network path and environmental conditions, such as ...

Recently, monitoring the process mean and variability simultaneously for multivariate processes by using a single control chart has drawn some attention. However, due to the complexity of multivariate distribution, the existing methods in the univariate processes can not be readily extended to the multivariate processes. In this paper, we propose a new single control chart which integrates the ...

We address the problem of online change detection in multivariate datastreams, and we introduce QuantTree Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (QT-EWMA), a nonparametric change-detection algorithm that can control expected time before false alarm, yielding desired Run Length (ARL$_0$). Controlling alarms is crucial many applications rarely guaranteed by algorithms monitor datastreams without k...
