Monitoring process variability using auxiliary information

In this study a Shewhart type control chart namely V _r chart is proposed for improved monitoring of process variability (targeting large shifts) of a quality characteristic of interest Y. The proposed control chart is based on regression type estimator of variance using a single auxiliary variable X. It is assumed that (Y, X) follow a bivariate normal distribution. The design structure of V _r chart is developed and its comparison is made with the well-known Shewhart control chart namely S ² chart used for the same purpose. Using power curves as a performance measure it is observed that V _r chart outperforms the S ² chart for detecting moderate to large shifts, which is main target of Shewhart type control charts, in process variability under certain conditions on ρ _yx . These efficiency conditions on ρ _yx are also obtained for V _r chart in this study.

The role of prior mathematical experience in predicting mathematics performance in higher education

Evidence of deficiencies in basic mathematical skills of beginning undergraduates has been documented worldwide. Many different theories have been set out as to why these declines in mathematical competency levels have occurred over time. One such theory is the widening access to higher education which has resulted in a less mathematically prepared profile of beginning undergraduates than ever before. In response to this situation, the present study details the examination of a range of methods through which a student's mathematical performance in higher education could be predicted at the beginning of their third-level studies. Several statistical prediction methods were examined and the most effective method in predicting students’ mathematical performance was discriminant analysis. The discriminant analysis correctly classified 71.3% of students in terms of mathematics performance. An ability to carry out such a prediction in turn allows for appropriate mathematics remediation to be offered to students predicted to fail third-level mathematics. The results of the prediction of mathematical performance, which was carried out using a database consisting of over 1000 beginning undergraduates over a 3-year period, are detailed in this article along with the implications of such findings to educational policy and practice.

可变抽样区间图经济设计分析

传统控制图是静态的,其抽样区间为固定常数,往往不能及时发现生产过程异常。针对这种情况,本文在综合抽样成本、生产次品损失、误报警和漏报警损失、发现并纠正过程异常成本等基础上,提出可变抽样区间X图的经济设计方法。根据过程实际状态和由抽样结果采取的决策构建了一个二维时间离散的马尔可夫链,提出优化模型,并利用遗传算法寻找控制图参数的最优解。数值计算给出本文模型的具体求解过程。灵敏度分析研究了各参数对最优样本容量、控制限、警戒限、抽样区间及单位时间平均成本的影响。     

Joint economic design of EWMA control charts for mean and variance

Control charts with exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) statistics (mean and variance) are used to jointly monitor the mean and variance of a process. An EWMA cost minimization model is presented to design the joint control scheme based on pure economic or both economic and statistical performance criteria. The pure economic model is extended to the economic-statistical design by adding constraints associated with in-control and out-of-control average run lengths. The quality related production costs are calculated using Taguchi’s quadratic loss function. The optimal values of smoothing constants, sampling interval, sample size, and control chart limits are determined by using a numerical search method. The average run length of the control scheme is computed by using the Markov chain approach. Computational study indicates that optimal sample sizes decrease as the magnitudes of shifts in mean and/or variance increase, and higher values of quality loss coefficient lead to shorter sampling intervals. The sensitivity analysis results regarding the effects of various inputs on the chart parameters provide useful guidelines for designing an EWMA-based process control scheme when there exists an assignable cause generating concurrent changes in process mean and variance.
