Individuals And Moving Range (X Rm)#

The following table lists the properties of the Individuals And Moving Range (X Rm) chart.

Property Description
Chart Individuals and Moving Range (I-MR)
Process observation types Variables
Process observations relationships Independent
Sample Size 1
Distribution type Normal
Size of shift to detect Large (≥ 1.5σ)
Individuals (Indicator 1) \(x\)
Moving Range (Indicator 2) \(r_k = Abs(x_{k+1}-x_k)\)
Mean \(\mu = \overline{\overline{x}} = \frac{\sum{x_i}}{n}\)
Mean Range \(\overline{MR} = \frac{\sum{MR_i}}{i-1}\)
Process Mean \(\mu\)
Process Standard Deviation \(\overline{MR} = \frac{\sum{MR_i}}{i-1}\)
Note that the first data point does not have a \(MR\)
\(\sigma = S_{mr} = \frac{\overline{MR}}{d_2(w)}\)
Because we only support \(w=2\), the \(d_2(w)\) can be replaced by the constant 1,1284
Individuals (Indicator 1) Centerline \(\mu\)
Individuals (Indicator 1) Control Limits \(UCL = \mu + 3 \sigma\)
\(LCL = \mu - 3 \sigma\)
Moving Range (Indicator 2) Centerline \(\overline{MR} = \sigma\cdot d_2(w)\)
Moving Range (Indicator 2) Control Limits \(UCL = \overline{MR} + 3\sigma \cdot d_3(w)\)
\(LCL = max(\overline{R}_i + 3\sigma \cdot d_3(w);0)\)
Where \(w=2\)
