A fundamental functional in nonparametric statistics is the Mann-Whitney functional ${\theta} = P (X < Y )$ , which constitutes the basis for the most popular nonparametric procedures. The functional ${\theta}$ measures a location or…

In this work, we study the performance of two-sided EWMA charts for monitoring double bounded processes using individual observations. Specifically, the term double bounded refers to observations in the interval (0, 1) and thus, these…
In practice, there are processes where the in-control mean and standard deviation of a quality characteristic is not stable. In such cases, the coefficient of variation (CV) is a more appropriate measure for assessing process stability. In…

In statistical process control Weibull distribution can be used to model the time between events or failures (TBE) in a process with increasing decreasing or constant failure rates. Specifically it helps in monitoring processes where the…
We propose a new test to address the nonparametric Behrens-Fisher problem involving different distribution functions in the two samples. Our procedure tests the null hypothesis $\mathcal{H}_0: \theta = \frac{1}{2}$, where $\theta = P(X<Y) +…

In many industrial manufacturing processes, the quality of products depends on the relation between two main ingredients or characteristics. Often, this calls for monitoring the ratio of two normal random variables with statistical process…
A multivariate control chart is designed to monitor process parameters of multiple correlated quality characteristics. Often data on multivariate processes are collected as individual observations, i.e. as vectors one at the time. Various…
This paper develops a Bayesian control chart for the percentiles of the Weibull distribution, when both its in-control and out-of-control parameters are unknown. The Bayesian approach enhances parameter estimates for small sample sizes that…
A fundamental challenge in comparing two survival distributions with right censored data is the selection of an appropriate nonparametric test, as the power of standard tests like the Log rank and Wilcoxon is highly dependent on the often…

In the practical industry, the most commonly used application of statistical analysis for monitoring the process mean is the control chart. Control charts are generated based on the presumption that we have a sample from a stable process.…
Classical statistical process control often relies on univariate characteristics. In many contemporary applications, however, the quality of products must be characterized by some functional relation between a response variable and its…
