NONPARAMETRIC MULTIVARIATE STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL USING PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS AND SIMPLICIAL DEPTH
Title
NONPARAMETRIC MULTIVARIATE STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL USING PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS AND SIMPLICIAL DEPTH.
Creator
Beltran, Luis, Malone, Linda, University of Central Florida
Abstract / Description
Although there has been progress in the area of Multivariate Statistical Process Control (MSPC), there are numerous limitations as well as unanswered questions with the current techniques. MSPC charts plotting Hotelling's T2 require the normality assumption for the joint distribution among the process variables, which is not feasible in many industrial settings, hence the motivation to investigate nonparametric techniques for multivariate data in quality control. In this research, the goal...
Show moreAlthough there has been progress in the area of Multivariate Statistical Process Control (MSPC), there are numerous limitations as well as unanswered questions with the current techniques. MSPC charts plotting Hotelling's T2 require the normality assumption for the joint distribution among the process variables, which is not feasible in many industrial settings, hence the motivation to investigate nonparametric techniques for multivariate data in quality control. In this research, the goal will be to create a systematic distribution-free approach by extending current developments and focusing on the dimensionality reduction using Principal Component Analysis. The proposed technique is different from current approaches given that it creates a nonparametric control chart using robust simplicial depth ranks of the first and last set of principal components to improve signal detection in multivariate quality control with no distributional assumptions. The proposed technique has the advantages of ease of use and robustness in MSPC for monitoring variability and correlation shifts. By making the approach simple to use in an industrial setting, the probability of adoption is enhanced. Improved MSPC can result in a cost savings and improved quality.

Abstract / Description
Statistical process control (SPC) applies the science of statistics to various process control in order to provide higher-quality products and better services. The K chart is one among the many important tools that SPC offers. Creation of the K chart is based on Support Vector Data Description (SVDD), a popular data classifier method inspired by Support Vector Machine (SVM). As any methods associated with SVM, SVDD benefits from a wide variety of choices of kernel, which determines the...
Show moreStatistical process control (SPC) applies the science of statistics to various process control in order to provide higher-quality products and better services. The K chart is one among the many important tools that SPC offers. Creation of the K chart is based on Support Vector Data Description (SVDD), a popular data classifier method inspired by Support Vector Machine (SVM). As any methods associated with SVM, SVDD benefits from a wide variety of choices of kernel, which determines the effectiveness of the whole model. Among the most popular choices is the Euclidean distance-based Gaussian kernel, which enables SVDD to obtain a flexible data description, thus enhances its overall predictive capability. This thesis explores an even more robust approach by incorporating the Mahalanobis distance-based kernel (hereinafter referred to as Mahalanobis kernel) to SVDD and compare it with SVDD using the traditional Gaussian kernel. Method's sensitivity is benchmarked by Average Run Lengths obtained from multiple Monte Carlo simulations. Data of such simulations are generated from multivariate normal, multivariate Student's (t), and multivariate gamma populations using R, a popular software environment for statistical computing. One case study is also discussed using a real data set received from Halberg Chronobiology Center. Compared to Gaussian kernel, Mahalanobis kernel makes SVDD and thus the K chart significantly more sensitive to shifts in mean vector, and also in covariance matrix.
