A Nonparametric Control Chart for Detecting Small Disorders
检测小幅变化的非参数控制图
We consider sequential observation of independent random variables $X_1,\cdots, X_N$ whose distribution changes from $F$ to $G$ after the first $\lbrack N\theta \rbrack$ variables. The object is to detect the unknown change-point quickly without too many false alarms. A nonparametric control chart based on partial weighted sums of sequential ranks is proposed. It is shown that if the change from $F$ to $G$ is small, then as $N \rightarrow \infty$, the appropriately scaled…
