ABSTRAK

 

Rencana ini mengemukakan ubahsuaian kepada had kawalan dan garis tengah Carta Kawalan Hodges-Lehmann yang dicadangkan oleh Alloway dan Raghavachari (1991).  Ubahsuaian ini dilakukan dengan menggantikan median purata Walsh dengan min terpangkas-a dalam penganggar Hodges-Lehmann.  Contoh berangka ditunjukkan bagi menerangkan kaedah baru ini. Prestasinya dibandingkan dengan prestasi kaedah Alloway & Raghavachari (1991) menerusi kajian simulasi.

 

 

ABSTRACT

 

This paper develops a modified approach to the computation of control limits and central line for the Hodges-Lehmann control chart proposed by Alloway & Raghavachari (1991).  The modified approach is based on replacing the median of the Walsh averages by the a-trimmed mean, in the Hodges-Lehmann estimator. A numerical example is given to illustrate the use of the modified approach. It is performance is compared with that of Alloway & Raghavachari (1991) using some simulation studies.
