mewma.psi: Compute steady-state density of the MEWMA statistic

Description

Computation of the (zero-state) steady-state density function of the statistic deployed in multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) charts monitoring multivariate normal mean.

Usage

mewma.psi(l, cE, p, type="cond", hs=0, r=20)

Value

Returns a function.

Arguments

l

smoothing parameter lambda of the MEWMA control chart.

cE

alarm threshold of the MEWMA control chart.

p

dimension of multivariate normal distribution.

type

switch between "cond" and "cycl" for differentiating between the conditional (no false alarm) and the cyclical (after false alarm re-start in hs), respectively.

hs

the re-starting point for the cyclical steady-state framework.

r

number of quadrature nodes.

Details

Basically, ideas from Knoth (2017, MEWMA numerics) and Knoth (2016, steady-state ARL concepts) are merged. More details will follow.

Examples

lambda <- 0.1
L0 <- 200
p <- 3
h4 <- mewma.crit(lambda, L0, p)
x_ <- seq(0, h4*lambda/(2-lambda), by=0.002)
psi <- mewma.psi(lambda, h4, p)
psi_ <- psi(x_)
# plot(x_, psi_, type="l", xlab="x", ylab=expression(psi(x)), xlim=c(0,1.2))
