“…The formula in Equation () integrates over the distribution function for the interval , where and denote the lower and upper bounds of the shift sizes in the process mean, respectively. As the exact shape of is often hard to be identified due to insufficient information about the distribution of δ , the process mean shifts are assumed to be uniformly distributed over the interval that is, the occurrence probability for each value of δ in the interval is assumed to be equal 7,18 . Consequently, the formula in Equation () becomes The in‐control EARL () value is set to be similar to the ARL 0 value to ensure that both measures of performance have a similar in‐control run length performance.…”
