Abstract

Two-parameter exponential distributions have a widespread application in insurance, medical and industrial production. However, incomplete samples are often obtained due to experimental conditions. In this paper, a new adaptive exponentially weighted moving average control chart, called AEWMA-LR control chart, is proposed for monitoring the quality characteristics of two-parameter exponential distributions based on type-II censored data. The proposed monitoring scheme aims to achieve an adaptive effect by combining exponentially weighted moving averages and adjusting the weight factors according to the relative magnitude of the estimated location and scale parameter shifts. We explored the effects of smooth parameters, sample size, and censored parameters on the performance of AEWMA-LR control charts through a Monte Carlo simulation study. Then, a comparative analysis was conducted with existing EWMA-LR and EWMA-Max-MLE control charts based on the two-parameter exponential model. The simulation results of zero-state average run length (ARL) and conditional expected delay (CED) show that the proposed monitoring scheme outperforms the existing control charts. Finally, to demonstrate the usefulness of the AEWMA-LR control chart in real-world applications, we give three instances of two-parameter exponential distributions based on type-II right censored data.
