Change point estimation is as an effective method for identifying the time of a change in production and service processes. In most of the statistical quality control literature, it is usually assumed that the quality characteristic of interest is independently and identically distributed over time. It is obvious that this assumption could be easily violated in practice. In this paper, we use m...

in this research, the decision on belief (dob) approach was employed to analyze and classify the states of uni-variate quality control systems. the concept of dob and its application in decision making problems were introduced, and then a methodology for modeling a statistical quality control problem by dob approach was discussed. for this iterative approach, the belief for a system being out-o...

The quality is typically modeled as the univariate or multivariate distribution of quality characteristic/s. In recent applications of statistical process control, quality profiles in which the relationship between a response and explanatory variable/s is captured and monitored are increasingly used to model the quality. Several techniques have been developed to enhance the speed of detecting c...

BACKGROUND As a cornerstone of quality management in the laboratory, External Quality Assessment (EQA) schemes are used to assess laboratory and analytical method performance. The characteristic function is used to describe the relation between the target concentration and the EQA standard deviation, which is an essential part of the evaluation process. The characteristic function is also used ...
