Abstract
This article proposes a method of optimizing control chart (sequential test) to detect an abnormal change in a sequence of finite or even small samples with the unknown change-point and the unknown post-change probability distribution. We not only introduced a performance measure for a given charting statistic to evaluate the detection effect of a control chart, but also constructed an optimal control chart under the measure. The effect of optimization method was illustrated by numerical simulations of three optimized Shewhart, CUSUM and EWMA control charts, and a real data example.
