Abstract
MORALES, VÍCTOR HUGO and VARGAS, JOSÉ ALBERTO. EWMA Chart Based on the Effective Variance for Monitoring the Variability of Multivariate Quality Control Process. Rev.Colomb.Estad. [online]. 2008, vol.31, n.1, pp.131-143. ISSN 0120-1751.
When it is of interest monitoring small changes in the variability (and/or the mean) of a process, the EWMA control charts have shown to be very efficient. These charts, usually use the generalized variance as a measure of global variability, defined as the determinant of the variance covariance matrix. Peña & Rodríguez (2003) proposed a measure of overall variability, called effective variance, defined to p variates as the pth root of the generalized variance, which, in some scenarios of multivariate analysis, offers some advantages over the generalized variance. In this paper an EWMA control chart is constructed by using the effective variance.
