xcusum.sf: Compute the survival function of CUSUM run length

Description

Computation of the survival function of the Run Length (RL) for CUSUM control charts monitoring normal mean.

Usage

xcusum.sf(k, h, mu, n, hs=0, sided="one", r=40)

Arguments

k

reference value of the CUSUM control chart.

h

decision interval (alarm limit, threshold) of the CUSUM control chart.

mu

true mean.

n

calculate sf up to value n.

hs

so-called headstart (enables fast initial response).

sided

distinguishes between one- and two-sided CUSUM control chart by choosing "one" and "two", respectively.

r

number of quadrature nodes, dimension of the resulting linear equation system is equal to r+1.

Value

• Returns a vector which resembles the survival function up to a certain point.

Details

The survival function P(L>n) and derived from it also the cdf P(L
