Structural health monitoring is described in the context of a statistical process control paradigm. This paper demonstrates the application of various statistical process control techniques such as the Shewhart, the exponentially weighted moving average, and the cumulative sum control charts to vibration-based damage diagnosis. The control limits are first constructed based on the measurements ...

in many industrial and non-industrial applications the quality of a process or product is characterized by a relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables. this relationship is referred to as profile. in the past decade, profile monitoring has been extensively studied under the normal response variable, but it has paid a little attention to the profile with the ...

Adaptive Cumulative SUM charts (ACUSUM) have been recently proposed for providing an overall good detection over a range of mean shift sizes. The basic idea of the ACUSUM chart is to first adaptively update the reference value based on an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) estimate and then to assign a weight on it using a certain type of weighting function. A linear weighting functio...

Residual-based control charts are popular methods for statistical process control of autocorrelated processes. To implement these methods, a time series model of the process is required. The model must be estimated from data, in practice, and model estimation errors can cause the actual in-control average run length to differ substantially from the desired value. This article develops a method ...

Diagnostic laboratories are increasingly required to meet stringent quality standards, and validated assays are needed to achieve formal accreditation. Validation of test methods is often considered to be finalised when the assay parameters and characteristics have been established. However, like any process, diagnostic assays are subject to random variation resulting in shifts in the mean test...

Intrusion detection systems typically create large amounts of alerts, processing of which is a time consuming task for the user. This paper describes an application of exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control charts used to help the operator in alert processing. Depending on his objectives, some alerts are individually insignificant, but when aggregated they can provide important in...

Accurate and effective anomaly detection and diagnosis of modern engineering systems by monitoring processes ensure reliability and safety of a product while maintaining desired quality. In this paper, an innovative method based on Kullback-Leibler divergence for detecting incipient anomalies in highly correlated multivariate data is presented. We use a partial least square (PLS) method as a mo...

Control charts with exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) statistics (mean and variance) are used to jointly monitor the mean and variance of a process. An EWMA cost minimization model is presented to design the joint control scheme based on pure economic or both economic and statistical performance criteria. The pure economic model is extended to the economic-statistical design by addin...
