xDcusum.arl {spc}

Compute ARLs of CUSUM control charts under drift

Description

Computation of the (zero-state and other) Average Run Length (ARL) under drift for one-sided CUSUM control charts monitoring normal mean.

Usage

xDcusum.arl(k, h, delta, hs = 0, sided = "one",
    mode = "Gan", m = NULL, q = 1, r = 30, with0 = FALSE)

Arguments

k

reference value of the CUSUM control chart.

h

decision interval (alarm limit, threshold) of the CUSUM control chart.

delta

true drift parameter.

hs

so-called headstart (enables fast initial response).

sided

distinguishes between one- and two-sided CUSUM control chart by choosing "one" and "two", respectively. Currentlly, the two-sided scheme is not implemented.

mode

decide whether Gan's or Knoth's approach is used. Use "Gan" and "Knoth", respectively.

m

parameter used if mode="Gan". m is design parameter of Gan's approach. If m=NULL, then m will increased until the resulting ARL does not change anymore.

q

change point position. For q=1 and \mu=\mu_0 and \mu=\mu_1, the usual zero-state ARLs for the in-control and out-of-control case, respectively, are calculated. For q>1 and \mu!=0 conditional delays, that is, E_q(L-q+1|L\geq), will be determined. Note that mu0=0 is implicitely fixed. Deploy large q to mimic steady-state. It works only for mode="Knoth".

r

number of quadrature nodes, dimension of the resulting linear equation system is equal to r+1 (one-sided) or r (two-sided).

with0

defines whether the first observation used for the RL calculation follows already 1*delta or still 0*delta. With q additional flexibility is given.

Details

Based on Gan (1991) or Knoth (2003), the ARL is calculated for one-sided CUSUM control charts under drift. In case of Gan's framework, the usual ARL function with mu=m*delta is determined and recursively via m-1, m-2, ... 1 (or 0) the drift ARL determined. The framework of Knoth allows to calculate ARLs for varying parameters, such as control limits and distributional parameters. For details see the cited papers. Note that two-sided CUSUM charts under drift are difficult to treat.

Value

Returns a single value which resembles the ARL.
