Abstract

We consider the problem of monitoring variability of autocorrelated processes. This paper combines variance estimation techniques from the simulation literature with a statistical process control chart from statistical process control (SPC) literature. The proposed SPC method does not require any assumptions on the distribution of the underlying process and uses a variance estimate from each batch as a basic observation. The control limits of the chart are determined analytically. The proposed chart is tested using stationary processes with both normal and non-normal marginals.
