XbarS is an X-bar chart for monitoring a process using sample standard deviations.

Namespace: Imsl.Chart2D.QC
Assembly: ImslCS (in ImslCS.dll) Version: 6.5.0.0

Syntax

C#
[SerializableAttribute]
public class XbarS : ShewhartControlChart
Visual Basic (Declaration)
<SerializableAttribute> _
Public Class XbarS _

public ref class XbarS : public ShewhartControlChart

Remarks

The control limits are at

\bar{\bar{x}} + k \frac{\bar{s}}{c_{4,n}\sqrt{n}}
where \bar{\bar{x}} is the grand mean of all of the observations, n is the sample size, and k is the value of the "ControlLimit" attribute for the limit. Additionally, c_{4,n} 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{\bar{x}}. Additional control limit lines can be added. The method AddWeco adds control limits with k = -2, -1, 1, 2.
