A Control Chart Based on Ranks

&
Pages 117-124 | Published online: 21 Feb 2018
 

Abstract

A control chart technique that considers exponentially weighted moving averages (EWMA) of the ranks of the observations is proposed. This nonparametric technique is outlier-resistant and performs well if one is concerned about sudden shifts in the process mean. The procedure is illustrated on a data set taken from the literature.
