Abstract

The control charts CUSUM (CUmulative SUM) and EWMA (Exponentially Weighted Moving Average) are widely used in a great variety of practical applications such as economics, finance, medicine, and engineering. The Average Run Length (ARL) is the most common characteristic used to design EWMA and CUSUM. Here we use the Fredholm type integral equations to derive analytical closed form representations for the ARL for some special cases. In particular, we derive a closed form representation for the ARL of CUSUM chart assuming that the random observations have a hyperexponential distribution. For EWMA we solve the corresponding ARL integral equation when the observations have the Laplace distribution.
