High smoothness and high stability are two most important characteristics in High-speed railway, which determine the significance and importance of settlement and deformation monitoring of underline engineering. The settlement observational data is complex and massive, only by reasonable and...

Motivated by applications in statistical quality control and signal analysis, we propose a sequential detection procedure which is designed to detect structural changes, in particular jumps, immediately. This is achieved by modifying a median filter by appropriate kernel-based jump preserving...

This paper discusses the development of a multivariate control charting technique for short-run autocorrelated data manufacturing environment. The proposed approach is a combination of the multivariate residual charts for autocorrelated data and the multivariate transformation technique for...
