public class SChart
extends ShewhartControlChart

SChart is an S chart using sample standard deviations to monitor the variability of a process. This is normally used with sample sizes greater than 10. The control limits are at

bar{s} + k frac{bar{s}}{c_{4,n}}sqrt{1-c_{4,n}^2}

where bar{s} is the mean of the within sample standard deviations, n is the sample size, and k is the value of the "ControlLimit" attribute for the line. Additionally,

c_{4,n}=sqrt{frac{2}{n-1}}frac{Gamma(frac{n}{2})}{Gamma(frac{n-1}{2})}

is a factor such that bar{s}/c_{4,n} is an unbiased estimator of the within sample standard deviation. 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 equal to bar{s}. Additional control limit lines can be added. The method addWeco adds control limits with k = -2, -1, 1, 2.

Constructor Detail

SChart

public SChart(AxisXY axis,
              double[][] x)
Creates an S 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 row must have at least two entries.

SChart

public SChart(AxisXY axis,
              int[] sampleSize,
              double[] s)
Creates an S chart given the within sample standard deviations for a series of unequally sized samples.

Parameters:
axis - the AxisXY parent of this node
sampleSize - is an array containing the number of observations in each sample. All samples must have at least two observations.
s - is an array containing the within sample standard deviations for a series of samples.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - is thrown if the two input arrays do not have the same length.

SChart
