Abstract

Online monitoring of high-dimensional processes variability in which the number of variables is larger than the sample size is a challenging issue for quality practitioners because the sample covariance matrix is not invariable. To deal with this challenge, a generalized multiple dependent state sampling (GMDS) chart based on ridge penalized likelihood ratio (RPLR) statistic is developed for Phase II monitoring of multivariate process variability under high-dimensional setting. The developed control chart benefits from three advantages: (1) departing from the conventional covariance matrix charts, it can be efficiently employed for both spars and non-spars covariance matrices; (2) it is able to detect spars shift patterns in which only a few covariance matrix elements are deviated from their nominal values; and (3) it outperforms the detectability of the RPLR chart in terms of average run length (ARL) and standard deviation of run length (SDRL). The performance of RPLR, MDS-RPLR, and GMDS-RPLR charts are compared using extensive simulation studies by considering different diagonal and/or off-diagonal covariance matrix disturbance. Moreover, sensitivity analysis are provided to analyze how the number of process variables and GMDS parameter affect the run length properties of the developed chart.
