As wind energy is becoming a significant utility source, minimizing the operation and
maintenance (O&M) expenses has raised a crucial issue to make wind energy competitive to …

An overview is given of current research on control charting methods for process monitoring
and improvement. The discussion includes a historical perspective along with ideas for …

A much-needed introduction to the field of discrete-valued time series, with a focus on count-
data time series Time series analysis is an essential tool in a wide array of fields, including …

A major tool for quality control and management, statistical process control (SPC) monitors
sequential processes, such as production lines and Internet traffic, to ensure that they work …

Background—Approximately half of all patients with chronic heart failure (HF) have a
decreased ejection fraction (EF)(systolic HF [SHF]); the other half have HF with a normal EF …

Control charts are powerful tools used to monitor the quality of processes. In practice, control
chart limits are often calculated using parameter estimates from an in-control Phase I …

There are many applications of control charts in health-care monitoring and in public-health
surveillance. We introduce these applications to industrial practitioners and discuss some of …

Statistical process control (SPC) requires statistical methodologies that detect changes in
the pattern of data over time. The common methodologies, such as Shewhart, cumulative …

The sulfur-induced embrittlement of nickel has long been wrapped in mystery as to why and
how sulfur weakens the grain boundaries of nickel and why a critical intergranular sulfur …

We propose a statistical process control scheme that can be implemented in industrial
practice, in which the quality of a process can be characterized by a general linear profile …
