In contrast to the traditional measurement procedures that use the obsolete error propagation formula for taking into account measurement uncertainty, stochastic measurement procedures include the entire uncertainty of the measurement process in a natural and rational way. In this paper the concept of stochastic measurement procedure is extended to the case that the measurement process is given by a stochastic process or more precisely said by a time series. This case appears often for economic phenomena. In this paper, only the feasibility of such measurement procedures shall be demonstrated and the considerations are therefore restricted to some simple and rather unrealistic examples. In a realistic case an appropriate stochastic model must be developed following the rules of stochastic modelling.","PeriodicalId":360039,"journal":{"name":"Economic Quality Control","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114792331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Process capability index is measuring the ability of a process to meet the product specification limit. Generally Cp and Cpk have been widely used as statistical tools to assess the manufacturing process performance. These indices provide numerical measures on process precision, process accuracy and process performance. The multivariate process capability indices, which are used for evaluation of processes with correlated quality characteristics are considered as new emerging research area. In this paper, we describe an approach of estimating multivariate process capability indices assuming multivariate g-and-h distribution and illustrate their performance using simulated and practical data set.","PeriodicalId":360039,"journal":{"name":"Economic Quality Control","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127932424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Time series constitute one possibility of modelling processes in order to determine an appropriate monitoring policy. One major problem when deriving a time series consists of estimating the values of the relevant parameters. This paper deals with the estimation of the parameters of a first order autoregressive gamma process by means of the EM algorithm. The formulae of the EM sequence are derived, the convergence of the procedure is established and the results of a simulation study are presented. The EM algorithm proves to be an appropriate estimation procedure in the case of the complex statistical model represented by a GAR(1) process.","PeriodicalId":360039,"journal":{"name":"Economic Quality Control","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115287419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
