This study proposes using statistical approaches to help with both the design and manufacture of wheels. The quality of a wheel is represented by the mechanical properties of spokes. Variation in the mechanical properties of different wheels is attributed to two sources, i.e. between-model...

Many process characteristics follow an exponential distribution, and control charts based on such a distribution have attracted a lot of attention. However, traditional control limits may be not appropriate because of the lack of symmetry. In this paper, process monitoring through a normalizing...

The Zero-inflated Poisson distribution has been used in the modeling of count data in different contexts. This model tends to be influenced by outliers because of the excessive occurrence of zeroes, thus outlier identification and robust parameter estimation are important for such distribution....
