Abstract:

Multivariate statistical quality control arises when you have a vector of process measurements. The MEWMA is a good multivariate SPC tool, but assumes you know the in-control mean and covariance matrix. "Self-starting" methods use the stream of process data to simultaneously estimate the parameters and control the system. We define a self-starting MEWMA chart that can be used without a long learning process and illustrate it with data gathered in an alumina smelter.
