Abstract:
PM2.5 (particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 micron) is found in the air and comprises dust, dirt, soot, smoke, and liquid droplets. PM2.5 and carbon monoxide emissions can have a negative impact on humans and animals throughout the world. In this paper, we present the performance of a modified exponentially weighted moving average (modified EWMA) control chart to detect small changes when the observations are autocorrelated with exponential white noise through the average run length evaluated (ARLs) by explicit formulas. The accuracy of the solution was verified with a numerical integral equation method. The efficacy of the modified EWMA control chart to monitor PM2.5 and carbon monoxide air pollution data and compare its performance with the standard EWMA control chart. The results suggest that the modified EWMA control chart is far superior to the standard one.

The X̄ Chart
The x̄ chart, often known as the individual control chart, is a crucial tool in statistical process control. It is designed to monitor process behavior and performance over time and is widely used in various industries to ensure that processes are operating at their optimum capacity and within specified limits.
A x̄ chart is constructed by plotting individual measurements of a quality...
