Optimum Sample Size and Sampling Interval for Controlling the Mean of Non-Normal Variables
控制非正态变量均值的最优样本量与抽样间隔
Following Duncan [3], the per hour cost of the process under the surveillance of a mean chart for controlling the mean of non-normal variables whose density function is represented by the first four terms of an Edgeworth series is obtained. The sample size and sampling interval which minimize the cost for detecting a particular shift in the process average are derived when the width of the control limits is specified. They are numerically determined for different non-normal…
