Abstract:

This paper deals with continuous inspection schemes in terms of CUSUM procedures. They can be considered as a sequence of sequential likelihood ratio tests. For these tests we present a method for the exact computation of the OC-function, the ASN-function and their derivatives for integer-valued random variables. This method is then applied in a modified manner to the computation of the characteristics of the corresponding CUSUM procedures. Then these investigations are extended to continuous random variables. We consider corresponding integral equations for the average run length and the derivative of the average run length, respectively. We present a statistically orientated approximation method for solving these integral equations.
