The use of complex self tuning Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) controller, to drive the speed and direction in mini robot, is limited by calculus power and by the precision and noise of the on board input sensors, particularly severe problems arise in computing the derivative term. In this work a PID whose terms are computed from filtered input with a simple recursive Exponentially ...

The basic purpose of the economic design of the control charts is to find the optimum control charts parameters to minimize the process cost. In this paper, an R package, edcc (economic design of control charts), which provides a numerical method to find the optimum chart parameters is presented using the unified approach of the economic design. Also, some examples are given to illustrate how t...

Traditionally, an ?̄? chart is used to control the process mean and an R chart is used to control the variance. However, these charts are not sensitive to the small shifts in the processes. The adaptive charts might be considered if the aim is to detect process changes quickly. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive single control chart which integrates the exponentially weighted moving averag...

Many intrusions which attempt to compromise the security of computer and network systems manifest themselves in changes in the intensity of events. Because of the ability of exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) statistics to monitor the rate of occurrences of events based on their intensity, this technique is appropriate for implementation in control limits based algorithms. The researc...

BACKGROUND Influenza viruses cause seasonal outbreaks in temperate climates, usually during winter and early spring, and are endemic in tropical climates. The severity and length of influenza outbreaks vary from year to year. Quick and reliable detection of the start of an outbreak is needed to promote public health measures. METHODS We propose the use of an exponentially weighted moving aver...

Statistical process control (SPC) is an approach to evaluate processes whether they are in statistical control or not. For this aim, control charts are generally used. Since sample data may include uncertainties coming from measurement systems and environmental conditions, fuzzy numbers and/or linguistic variables can be used to capture these uncertainties. In this paper, one of the most popula...

Real-time wireless link reliability estimation is a fundamental building block for self-organization of multihop sensor networks. Observed connectivity at low-power is more chaotic and unpredictable than in wireless LANs, and available resources are severely constrained. We seek estimators that react quickly to large changes, yet are stable, have a small memory footprint and are simple to compu...

This paper presents a new traffic rate estimation method for the QoS-enabled Internet, employing a flip-flop filter that measures actual changes in the characteristics of a traffic flow in a timely and accurate manner (i.e., it is agile), while ignoring short term variations or spikes in the traffic flow (i.e., it is stable). The proposed algorithm is compared with the familiar exponentially we...

Quick detection of an assignable cause is necessary for process accuracy with respect to the specifications. The aim this study monitor time and magnitude processes based on unit-interval data. To end, maximum exponentially weighted moving average (Max-EWMA) control chart simultaneous monitoring event proposed. be precise, beta unit gamma distributions are considered develop Max-EWMA chart. cha...

The aim of this study was to detect arising weak points in pig breeding early for starting counteractive measures. Control-Charts are an instrument for monitoring industrial manufacturing processes and for statistical quality management. Two kinds of these charts were analysed in this study, first the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA)-Charts, and on the other hand the Cumulative Sum ...
