Abstract
AbstractWith the development of automation technologies, data can be collected in a high frequency, easily causing autocorrelation phenomena. Control charts of residuals have been used as a good way to monitor autocorrelated processes. The residuals have been often computed based on autoregressive (AR) models whose building needs much experience. Data have been assumed to be first‐order autocorrelated, and first‐order autoregressive (AR(1)) models have been employed to obtain residuals. But for a pth‐order autocorrelated process, how the AR(1) model affects the performance of the control chart of residuals remains unknown. In this paper, the control chart of exponentially weighted moving average of residuals (EWMA‐R) is used to monitor the pth‐order autocorrelated process. Taking the mean and standard deviation of run length as performance indicators, two types of EWMA‐R control charts, with their residuals obtained from the pth‐order autoregressive AR(p) and AR(1) models, respectively, are compared. The results of the numerical experiment show that for detecting small mean shifts, EWMA‐R control charts based on AR(1) models outperform ones based on AR(p) models, whereas for detecting large shifts, they are sometimes slightly worse. A practical application is used to give a recommendation that a large number of samples are necessary for determining an EWMA‐R control chart before using it.
