Beschreibung
This book introduces readers to several distribution-free (nonparametric) monitoring schemes and studies them in detail. In particular, the book focuses on the establishment of nonparametric techniques that are suitably designed for monitoring a production process. It also presents a chapter where the basics in the field of nonparametric statistical process control (NSPC) are studied in some detail. Furthermore, the book offers key information and new research material on nonparametric statistical process control, prepared by global specialists in the field. The book addresses a range of topics related to applied statistics, such as nonparametric statistical methods, statistical process control, and the theory of runs and scans. It represents a valuable source of information for researchers in these fields. The book is also of interest to practitioners, as the control charts provided will allow them to identify assignable causes, so that corrective actions be carried out and the processes be restored to the desired in-control state.
