Compute RL quantiles of EWMA control charts
Description
Computation of quantiles of the Run Length (RL) for EWMA control charts monitoring normal mean.
Usage
xtewma.q(l, c, df, mu, alpha, zr=0, hs=0, sided="two", limits="fix", mode="tan",
q=1, r=40)
xtewma.q.crit(l, L0, df, mu, alpha, zr=0, hs=0, sided="two", limits="fix", mode="tan",
r=40, c.error=1e-12, a.error=1e-9, OUTPUT=FALSE)
Arguments
l |
smoothing parameter lambda of the EWMA control chart. |
c |
critical value (similar to alarm limit) of the EWMA control chart. |
df |
degrees of freedom – parameter of the t distribution. |
mu |
true mean. |
alpha |
quantile level. |
zr |
reflection border for the one-sided chart. |
hs |
so-called headstart (enables fast initial response). |
sided |
distinguishes between one- and two-sided EWMA control chart
by choosing |
limits |
distinguishes between different control limits behavior. |
mode |
Controls the type of variables substitution that might improve the numerical performance. Currently,
|
q |
change point position. For |
r |
number of quadrature nodes, dimension of the resulting linear
equation system is equal to |
L0 |
in-control quantile value. |
c.error |
error bound for two succeeding values of the critical value during applying the secant rule. |
a.error |
error bound for the quantile level |
OUTPUT |
activate or deactivate additional output. |
Details
Instead of the popular ARL (Average Run Length) quantiles of the EWMA
stopping time (Run Length) are determined. The algorithm is based on
Waldmann's survival function iteration procedure.
If limits
is "vacl"
, then the method presented in Knoth (2003) is utilized.
For details see Knoth (2004).
Value
Returns a single value which resembles the RL quantile of order q
.
