public class RChart
extends ShewhartControlChart

RChart is an R chart using sample ranges to monitor the variability of a process. Each sample must contain at least two observations. The range of a sample is the maximum observed value minus the minimum observed value.

The control limits are at

bar{R} + k frac{d_{3,n}}{d_{2,n}}bar{R}

bar{R} is the mean of the observed ranges, n is the sample size, and k is the value of the "ControlLimit" attribute for the line. Additionally, d_{2,n} is the mean of the distribution of the ranges of n samples from the normal distribution with mean zero and standard deviation one. The standard deviation of this distribution is d_{3,n}. Therefore

frac{d_{3,n}}{d_{2,n}}bar{R}

is an estimator of the standard deviation of the ranges.

By default, the chart contains an upper control limit line with k=3, a lower control limit line with k=-3, and a central line with k=0. Additional control limit lines can be added. The method addWeco adds control limit lines with k = -2, -1, 1, 2.

Constructor Detail

RChart

public RChart(AxisXY axis,
              double[][] x)
Creates an R chart given sample data.

Parameters:
axis - the AxisXY parent of this node
x - is an array of arrays containing sample data. The data of the i-th sample is in x[i]. Each sample must contain at least 2 and no more than 50 observations.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - is thrown if the number of samples is less than 2 or greater than 50.

Parameters:
axis - the AxisXY parent of this node
sampleSize - is an array containing the number of observations in each sample. It must be at least 2 and no more than 50.
range - is an array containing the data ranges for a series of samples.
