Abstract: Time series control charts are popular methods for statistical process control of autocorrelated processes. In order to implement these methods, however, a time series model of the process is ...

Abstract: If there is little a priori knowledge of the plant parameters, the performance of certainty equivalence based adaptive controllers during the transient period, before the parameter estimates have ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method of diagnosing variance components of process error sources in singular manufacturing systems. The singularity problem is studied and the cause examined in the context ...

Abstract: The use of computer experiments and surrogate approximations (metamodels) introduces a source of uncertainty in simulation-based design that we term model interpolation uncertainty. Most existing ...

Abstract: To use predictive models in engineering design of physical systems, one should first quantify the model uncertainty via model updating techniques employing both simulation and experimental data. ...

Abstract: In physics-based engineering modeling, the two primary sources of model uncertainty, which account for the differences between computer models and physical experiments, are parameter uncertainty ...
