ABSTRACT |
When independent individual measurements are taken both $S/c_4$ and $ar{R}/d_2$ are unbiased estimators of the process standard deviation. However, with dependent data $ar{R}/d_2$ is not an unbiased estimator of the process standard deviation. On the other hand $S/c_4$ is an asymptotic unbiased estimator. If there exists correlation in the data, positive(negative) correlation tends to increase(decrease) the ARL. The effect of using $ar{R}/d_2$ is greater than $S/c_4$ if the assumption of independence is invalid. Supplementary runs rule shortens the ARL of X control charts dramatically in the presence of correlation in the data. |
