Control chart pattern recognition using small window size for identifying bivariate process mean shifts by Kasmin, A., Masood, I., Abdul Rahman, N., Abdul Kadir, A. H., Abdol Rahman, M. N.

“…The simulated SPC samples in different window sizes (8 ~ 24) and different change points (fixed and varies) were generated to study the recognition performance of the scheme based on mean square error (MSE) and classification accuracy (CA) measures. Two main findings have been suggested: (i) the scheme was superior when recognizing shift patterns with various change points compared to the shift patterns with fixed change point, with lower MSE and higher CA results, (ii) the scheme was more difficult to recognize smaller window size patterns with increasing MSE and decreasing CA trends, since these patterns provided insufficient information of unnatural variation. …”
