Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

At present, a large amount of data can be approached from the functional prism and in a multitude of fields such as engineering, medicine, etc. An example of this, which is very important to the engineering field (mechanical, electronic, environmental, etc.), is quality control, which is based on the classical Schewart methodology or WECO rules.

However, while application is important, a comparison between methods, and the design and construction of a new model, univariable or multivariable, based on depth, non-parametric, etc., is also important. Thus, in this Special Issue, different articles are collected with new models of detection of functional outliers, or applications thereof, on different areas of quality control and process capability control.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Detecting anomalies in large, complex systems is a critical and challenging task, and this is especially true for high-dimensional anomaly detection due to the underlying dependency structures among sensors. To incorporate the interrelationships among various sensors, a novel sparsity-constrained vector autoregressive moving average (scVARMA) model is proposed for anomaly detection in complex systems with multisensory signals. This model aims to leverage the inherent relationships and dynamics among various sensor readings, providing a more comprehensive and accurate analysis suitable for complex systems’ complex behavior. This research uses convex optimization to search for a parameterization that is sparse based on the principal of parsimony. This sparse model will not only contribute to meeting the real-time requirements of online monitoring strategies but also keeps the correlations among different sensory signals. The performance of the proposed scVARMA model is validated using real-world data from complex systems. The results affirm the superiority of the proposed scheme, demonstrating its enhanced performance and potential in practical applications. Full article

Shewhart charts are the most commonly utilised control charts for process monitoring in industries with the assumption that the underlying distribution of the quality characteristic is normal. However, this assumption may not always hold true in practice. In this paper, the weighted-variance mean charts are developed and their population standard deviation is estimated using the three subgroup scale estimators, namely the standard deviation, median absolute deviation and standard deviation of trimmed mean for monitoring Weibull distributed data with different coefficients of skewness. This study aims to compare the out-of-control average run length of these charts with the pre-determined fixed value of the in-control ARL in terms of different scale estimators, coefficients of skewness and sample sizes via extensive simulation studies. The results indicate that as the coefficients of skewness increase, the charts tend to detect the out-of-control signal more rapidly under identical magnitude of shift. Meanwhile, as the size of the shift increases under the same coefficient of skewness, the proposed charts are able to locate the shifts quicker and the similar scenarios arise as a sample size raised from 5 to 10. A real data set from survival analysis domain which, possessing Weibull distribution, was to demonstrate the usefulness and applicability of the proposed chart in practice. Full article
