Quality Control Statistics

Description

Create an object of class 'qcs' to perform statistical quality control. This object may then be used to plot Shewhart charts, Multivariate Control Charts, and more.

Usage

qcs(
  x,
  sample.index,
  sizes = NULL,
  type = c("xbar", "R", "S", "one", "p", "np", "c", "u", "ewma", "cusum"),
  center = NULL,
  std.dev,
  conf.nsigma = 3,
  limits = NULL,
  type.data = c("continuous", "atributte", "dependence"),
  lambda = 0.2,
  decision.interval = 5,
  se.shift = 1
)

qcs.continuous(
  x,
  sample.index,
  sizes = NULL,
  type = c("xbar", "R", "S", "one"),
  center = NULL,
  std.dev,
  conf.nsigma = 3,
  limits = NULL
)

qcs.atributte(
  x,
  sample.index = NULL,
  sizes = NULL,
  type = c("p", "np", "c", "u"),
  center = NULL,
  conf.nsigma = 3,
  limits = NULL
)

qcs.dependence(
  x,
  sample.index = NULL,
  sizes = NULL,
  type = c("ewma", "cusum"),
  center = NULL,
  std.dev,
  nsigma = 3,
  lambda = 0.2,
  decision.interval = 5,
  se.shift = 1
)

Arguments

x	a vector containing observed data
sample.index	a scalar with the column number corresponding to the index of each group (sample).
sizes	a value or a vector of values specifying the sample sizes associated with each group. For continuous data the sample sizes are obtained counting the non-NA elements of the sample.index vector. For "p", "np" and "u" charts the argument sizes is required.
type	a character string specifying the group statistics to compute: Statistic charted Chart description "xbar" mean means of a continuous process variable "R" range ranges of a continuous process variable "S" standard deviation standard deviations of a continuous variable "one" mean one-at-time data of a continuous process variable "p" proportion proportion of nonconforming units "np" count number of nonconforming units "c" count nonconformities per unit "u" count average nonconformities per unit "g" count number of non-events between events
center	a value specifying the center of group statistics or the ”target” value of the process.
std.dev	a value or an available method specifying the within-group standard deviation(s) of the process. Several methods are available for estimating the standard deviation in case of a continuous process variable.
conf.nsigma	a numeric value used to compute control limits, specifying the number of standard deviations (if conf.nsigma > 1) or the confidence level (if 0 < conf.nsigma < 1).
limits	a two-value vector specifying control limits.
type.data	a string specifying el type de data.
lambda	the smoothing parameter 0 <= lambda <= 1
decision.interval	A numeric value specifying the number of standard errors of the summary statistics at which the cumulative sum is out of control.
se.shift	The amount of shift to detect in the process, measured in standard errors of the summary statistics.
nsigma	a numeric value used to compute control limits, specifying the number of standard deviations.

Value

Returns an object of class 'qcs'.
