Title Of Article :
A probability chart for statistical process analysis, with applications
Latin Abstract :
This paper reports an application of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for the purpose of detecting changes
in the distribution of a sequence of measurements. The ʹprobability chartʹ of the title gave a value reflecting
whether the distribution was constant in the neighbourhood of each observation. The chart had
the advantage that the threshold for detection of a change was a dimensionless probability value. The
non-parametric nature of the test made it suitable for measurements sampled from a non-Gaussian
distribution.
