Abstract Profile monitoring in statistical quality control has attracted attention of many researchers recently. A profile is a function between response variables and one or more independent variables. There have been only a limited number of researches on monitoring multivariate profiles. Indeed, monitoring correlated multivariate profiles is a new subject in the fileld of statistical proces...

In some applications of statistical process monitoring, a quality characteristic can be characterized by linear regression relationships between several response variables and one explanatory variable, which is referred to as a “multivariate simple linear profile.” It is usually assumed that the process parameters are known in Phase II. However, in most applications, this assumption is viola...

In many circumstances, the quality of a process or product is best characterized by a given mathematical function between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables that is typically referred to as profile. There are some investigations to monitor auto-correlated linear and nonlinear profiles in recent years. In the present paper, we use the linear mixed models to account autocor...

In this paper, a remedial measure is first proposed to eliminate the effect of autocorrelation in phase-ІІ monitoring of autocorrelated polynomial profiles, where there is a first order autoregressive (AR(1)) relation between the error terms in each profile. Then, a control chart based on the generalized linear test (GLT) is proposed to monitor the coefficients of polynomial profiles and an R-c...

Adaptive sample size and sampling intervals schemes have been widely used to improve the statistical efficiency of Hotelling T control chart in detecting small changes when the quality of a product or a process can be characterised by the multivariate distribution of quality characteristics. In this paper, we design a Hotelling T scheme varying sample sizes and sampling intervals (VSSI-T) for a...

In some quality control applications, quality of a product or process can be characterized by a relationship between two or more variables that is typically referred to as profile. Moreover, in some situations, there are several correlated quality characteristics, which can be modeled as a set of linear functions of one explanatory variable. We refer to this as multivariate simple linear profil...

In many fields of science there are multivariate observations which are generated by a (physical) linear mixing process of contributions from different sources. If it is assumed that the composition of the sources is constant for different observations, these observations are, up to measurement error, non-negative linear combinations of a fixed set of so-called source profiles which characteriz...
