Cumulative sum (CUSUM) control charting is a valuable tool for detecting and diagnosing persistent shifts in series of readings. It is used in traditional statistical process control (SPC) settings such as manufacturing, but is also effective in settings as diverse as personnel management, econometrics, and conventional data analysis. It is an essential tool for the quality professional. This book covers CUSUMs from an application-oriented viewpoint, while also providing the essential theoretical underpinning. It is accessible to anyone with a basic statistical training, and is aimed at quality practitioners, teachers and students of quality methodologies, and people interested in analysis of time-ordered data. The text is supported by a Web site containing CUSUM software and data sets. Douglas M. Hawkins is Chair of the Department of Applied Statistics, University of Minnesota. He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, a Member of the International Statistical Institute and a Senior member of the American Society for Quality Control. His work on multivariate CUSUMs won him the Ellis R. Ott Award for the best paper on quality published in 1993. He has been Associate Editor of Technometrics and Journal of the American Statistical Association. David H. Olwell is Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the United States Military Academy. He is a member of the American Statistical Association, the American Society for Quality Control, and the Military Operations Research Society, where his work on applications of CUSUMs to managing sexual harassment was nominated for the 1998 Barchi prize. He is Editor of Mathematica

Multivariate methods are employed widely in the analysis of experimental data but are poorly understood by those users who are not statisticians. This is because of the wide divergence between the theory and practice of multivariate methods. This book provides concise yet thorough surveys of developments in multivariate statistical analysis and gives statistically sound coverage of the subject. The contributors are all experienced in the theory and practice of multivariate methods and their aim has been to emphasize the major features from the point of view of applicability and to indicate the limitations and conditions of the techniques. Professional statisticians wanting to improve their background in applicable methods, users of high-level statistical methods wanting to improve their background in fundamentals, and graduate students of statistics will all find this volume of value and use.
