The increase of criminal activity worldwide calls for cooperation in order to combat crime. All over the world, scientists, including Statisticians, of many seemingly unrelated fields are cooperating in order to find methods to prevent or to reduce crime. In this paper we analyze Greek crime...

The Shewhart, Bonferroni-adjustment and analysis of means (ANOM) control chart are typically applied to monitor the mean of a quality characteristic. The Shewhart and Bonferroni procedure are utilized to recognize special causes in production process, where the control limits are constructed by...

The Shewhart and the Bonferroni-adjustment R and S chart are usually applied to monitor the range and the standard deviation of a quality characteristic. These charts are used to recognize the process variability of a quality characteristic. The control limits of these charts are constructed on...

Control Charts are the main tools of Statistical Process Control. They are used for deciding whether a process is statistically stable or not. Much theory and many applications have been developed for the Gaussian (Normal) distribution in this area. However, in real data sets we usually face up...

Woodall and Montgomery in a discussion paper, state that multivariate process control is one of the most rapidly developing sections of statistical process control. Nowadays, in industry, there are many situations in which the simultaneous monitoring or control, of two or more related quality -...

In this paper we discuss the basic procedures for the implementation of multivariate statistical process control via control charting. Furthermore, we review multivariate extensions for all kinds of univariate control charts, such as multivariate Shewhart-type control charts, multivariate CUSUM...
