Abstract:
 In many real-world applications, the data to be used in a control charting method are not crisp since they approximated due environmental uncertainties, these situations, fuzzy numbers and linguistic variables grab such uncertainties. That is why use of chart, which used, justified. As an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) scheme usually detect small shifts, this paper ...

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...

Monitoring medical outcomes is desirable to help quickly detect performance changes. Previous applications have focused mostly on binary outcomes, such as 30-day mortality after surgery. However, in many applications the survival time data are routinely collected. In this paper, we propose an updating exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart to monitor risk-adjusted survival t...

In this paper we propose the explicit formulas of Average Run Length (ARL) of Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) control chart for Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average: ARIMA (p,d,q) (P, D, Q)L process with exponential white noise. To check the accuracy, the ARL results were compared with numerical integral equations based on the Gauss-Legendre rule. There was an excellent agreeme...

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...

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...

One of the most promising active queue management schemes being proposed for deployment in the Internet is RED. However, research results on RED performance are highly mixed, especially in the field of tuning its parameters. In this paper, we revisit some features in RED and study them in greater details. We point out that RED in general does not possess proportional loss between flows as claim...
