During the recent years there was an increased interest in studying the performance of different types of control charts, under various distributional models for continuous proportions, such as percentages and rates. In this work we…
Maintaining the quality of manufactured products at a desired level is known to increase customer satisfaction and profitability. Shewhart control chart is the most widely used in statistical process control (SPC) technique to monitor the…
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…
This note introduces a new Bayesian control chart to compare two processes by monitoring the ratio of their percentiles under Weibull assumption. Both in-control and out-of-control parameters are supposed unknown. The chart analyses the…
Unbiased and consistent variance estimators generally do not exist for design-based treatment effect estimators because experimenters never observe more than one potential outcome for any unit. The problem is exacerbated by interference and…
The need to monitor industrial processes, detecting changes in process parameters in order to promptly correct problems that may arise, generates a particular area of interest. This is particularly critical and complex when the measured…
Woodall and Montgomery [35] in a discussion paper, state that multivariate process control is one of the most rapidly developing sections of statistical process control. Nowadays, in industry, there are many situations in which the…
Error-in-variables regression is a common ingredient in treatment effect estimators using panel data. This includes synthetic control estimators, counterfactual time series forecasting estimators, and combinations. We study high-dimensional…
The monitoring of serially independent or autocorrelated count processes is considered, having a Poisson or (negative) binomial marginal distribution under in-control conditions. Utilizing the corresponding Stein identities, exponentially…
Recommender systems are seen as an effective tool to address information overload, but it is widely known that the presence of various biases makes direct training on large-scale observational data result in sub-optimal prediction…
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.…
A scope in quality control, which has recently received a great deal of attention is profile that characterizes the quality of a product or process by a relationship between two or more variables. In this paper, we propose an EWMA chart for…
Seemingly unrelated linear regression models are introduced in which the distribution of the errors is a finite mixture of Gaussian components. Identifiability conditions are provided. The score vector and the Hessian matrix are derived.…
We propose the use of non-parametric, graph-based tests to assess the distributional balance of covariates in observational studies with multi-valued treatments. Our tests utilize graph structures ranging from Hamiltonian paths that connect…
This paper develops a new multivariate control charting method for vector autocorrelated and serially correlated processes. The main idea is to propose a Bayesian multivariate local level model, which is a generalization of the…
Control charts for process monitoring are widely used in practice. Most control charts require the monitored (residuals) process to be serially independent (and to satisfy specified distributional assumptions), whereas undetected dependence…
An important challenge in statistical analysis concerns the control of the finite sample bias of estimators. For example, the maximum likelihood estimator has a bias that can result in a significant inferential loss. This problem is…
Most statistical process control programmes in healthcare focus on surveillance of outcomes at the final stage of a procedure, such as mortality or failure rates. Such an approach ignores the multi-stage nature of these procedures, in which…
Research in NLP is often supported by experimental results, and improved reporting of such results can lead to better understanding and more reproducible science. In this paper we analyze three statistical estimators for expected validation…
Stochastic processes are often used to model complex scientific problems in fields ranging from biology and finance to engineering and physical science. This paper investigates rate-optimal estimation of the volatility matrix of a…
