Statistical profile monitoring has received much attention during recent years. While numerous contributions and applications have been demonstrated in the literature, the control statistics across many of the proposed methodologies have mainly remained unchanged, which somehow hinders further improvement of the monitoring schemes. In this paper, however, we propose a novel approach to leverage the information in the area formed between the sampled and incontrol profile to improve the monitoring scheme performance. Specifically, we develop a control statistic based on the convolution of the observed and in-control profiles to monitor the shifts in the slope and intercept parameters. We also extend the mean square statistic to area weighted total sum of squares, to more effectively monitor the shift in the standard deviation. Extensive simulation studies are conducted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed methodology in comparison with some of the existing approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
