TOPIC:
Construction of a Multivariate Control Chart Based on Kernel Density Estimation and Metropolis-Hastings Sampling


ABSTRACT:
Statistical process control (SPC) is a set of procedures that uses statistical techniques to measure, analyze, and reduce process variation. Control chart is the commonly used and most successful SPC tool in real-world applications.

Traditional Multivariate Quality Control Charts (MQCC), such as Hotelling T2 control chart, Multivariate Cumulative Sum (MCUSUM) and Multivariate Exponentially-Weighted Moving Average (MEWMA) control chart, etc. are based on multivariate normal assumption. This given assumption is not usually satisfied, especially in modern industrial manufacturing process.

In this study, a new method to construct control chart for unknown multivariate distributional process is proposed, which is based on Kernel Density Estimation (non-parameter density estimation method) and Metropolis-Hastings sampling. This new method is able to avoid given assumption and accommodate non-normal or normal multivariate process. The control limit for control chart is a constant value which is derived by Metropolis-Hastings sampling method in a numerical way. Two simulation cases used to evaluate and validate the performance of the proposed method will be provided in this study.
