Variables Control Charts:
*XbarR estimates μw and σw using the ranges of the samples. It is best used when the sample size of a continuous variable is between 2 and 10.
*RChart plots the sample ranges. It is typically used in conjunction with XbarR.
*XbarS estimates μw and σw using the means and standard deviations of the samples. It is best used when the sample size of a continuous variable is at least 10.
*SChart plots the sample standard deviations. It is typically used in conjunction with XbarS.
*XmR is a moving range chart. It is used when the sample size of a continuous variable is one.
*EWMA (Exponentially Weighted Moving-Average) plots weighted moving average values. It is used when the sample size of a continuous variable is one.
