cusum: Cumulative Sum Control Chart.

Description

To construct the CUSUM plot.

Usage

cusum(x, ...)
  ccusum(x,mu=NULL, k=0.5,h=4, ...)
  bcusum(x,prob=NULL, R0=1.0,Ra=2, ...)

Arguments

x

A sequnence of results.

mu

mean values if 'x' is continous.

h

A parameter to control recalculating the new mean to restart the CUSUM chart. Default: 4.

k

Number of shift in sd unit, which controls the reference value K=k*s. Default: 1/2.

prob

predicted probabilities for risk-adjusted CUSUM.

R0, Ra

Odds ratios under H0 and Ha, respectively.Default: R0=1, Ra=2

...

Controls

Value

If the binary CUSUM is used, a class "BCUSUM" will be produced, otherwise, a class "CCUSUM" will be produced.

To detect increases we set Ra > R0, otherwise Ra < R0.

Details

To perform either continuous or binary CUSUM analysis based on the input "x".

In bcusum, the probability c0 under H0 is computed based on current data, which can also be given as a parameter prob.

Choose lower and upper limits h0 and h1: h1=1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3, 10; h0=-2.5

Wald: h0 = -ln(1-alpha)/beta, h1 = ln(1-beta)/alpha. Alert lines: alpha=beta=0.1. Alarm/action lines: alpha=beta=0.01.

Rogers et al defined a scale adjustment ln(OR), say log(1.5)

de Leval et al: alert line with alpha=0.05, beta=0.2; alarm line with alpha=0.01, beta=0.1
