The PChart plots the proportion or fraction of defective products.
The production process is assumed to be stable and successive units are assumed independent. So each unit produced is a realization of a Bernoulli random variable with parameter p, the proportion defective.
The control limits are at
By default, p is the proportion of defects observed in the data. To use a known p, set the attribute Center to p.
PChart Example
Defects in the manufacturing of orange juice cans are measured. The number of defects in samples of 50 cans is counted (Montgomery 290).
The y-axis labels and the title on the control limits have been changed to use a percentage format.

PChartUnequal Example
In this example a PChart is computed with unequal sample sizes. The upper and lower control limits are now stair step lines (Montgomery 300).
The y-axis labels and the title on the center line have been changed to use a percentage format.

import com.imsl.chart.qc.*;

static final int sampleSize[] = {
100, 80, 80, 100, 110, 110, 100, 100, 90, 90,
110, 120, 120, 120, 110, 80, 80, 80, 90, 100,
100, 100, 100, 90, 90
};
static final int numberDefects[] = {
12, 8, 6, 9, 10, 12, 11, 16, 10, 6,
20, 15, 9, 8, 6, 8, 10, 7, 5, 8, 5,
8, 10, 6, 9
};

PChart pchart = new PChart(axis, sampleSize, numberDefects);
pchart.getCenterLine().setTitle("center = {0,number,0.00%}");
axis.getAxisX().getAxisTitle().setTitle("Sample Number");
axis.getAxisX().getAxisLabel().setTextFormat("0");
axis.getAxisY().getAxisTitle().setTitle("Percent Defective");
axis.getAxisY().getAxisLabel().setTextFormat("percent");
axis.getAxisY().setWindow(0.0, 0.2);
axis.getAxisY().setAutoscaleInput(0);
