Existing control charts based on failure-censored (Type-II) reliability tests were designed using classical statistics. Classical statistics was applied for the monitoring of the process when observations in the sample or the population were determined. Neutrosophic statistics (NS) are applied when there is uncertainty in the sample or population. In this paper, a control chart for failure-censored (Type-II) reliability tests was designed using NS. The design of a control chart for the Weibull distribution, which is applied when there is a lack of symmetry using neutrosophic statistics, is given. The proposed control chart was used to monitor the neutrosophic mean and neutrosophic variance, which are related to the neutrosophic scale parameter. The advantages of the proposed control chart over the existing control chart are discussed.

Existing variance control charts are designed under the assumptions that no uncertain, fuzzy and imprecise observations or parameters are in the population or the sample. Neutrosophic statistics, which is the extension of classical statistics, has been widely used when there is uncertainty in the data. In this paper, we will originally design S 2 control chart under the neutrosophic interval methods. The complete structure of the neutrosophic S 2 control chart will be given. The necessary measures of neutrosophic S 2 will be given. The neutrosophic coefficient of S 2 control chart will be determined through the neutrosophic algorithm. Some tables are given for practical use. The efficiency of the proposed control chart is shown over the S 2 control chart designed under the classical statistics in neutrosophic average run length (NARL). A real example is also added to illustrate the proposed control chart. From the comparison in the simulation study and case study, it is concluded that the proposed control chart performs better than the existing control chart under uncertainty.

AbstractThe existing control chart for monitoring the blood components by attribute is designed using classical statistics. The existing attribute control chart can be applied only when the experimenter is sure about the proportion of defective or all the observations in the sample are determined. In this paper, new attribute control charts for monitoring the blood components under the neutrosophic statistics will be presented. The design of the proposed control chart is given under the neutrosophic statistical interval method. The applications of these control charts demonstrate that the proposed control charts are quite effective, adequate, flexible, and informative for monitoring the blood components under uncertain environment.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to apply fuzzy spectrum in order to collect the vague and imprecise data and to employ the fuzzy U control chart in variable sample size using fuzzy rules. This approach is improved and developed by providing some new rules. Design/methodology/approach The fuzzy operating characteristic (FOC) curve is applied to investigate the performance of the fuzzy U control chart. The application of FOC presents fuzzy bounds of operating characteristic (OC) curve whose width depends on the ambiguity parameter in control charts. Findings To illustrate the efficiency of the proposed approach, a practical example is provided. Comparing performances of control charts indicates that OC curve of the crisp chart has been located between the FOC bounds, near the upper bound; as a result, for the crisp control chart, the probability of the type II error is of significant level. Also, a comparison of the crisp OC curve with OCavg curve and FOCα curve approved that the probability of the type II error for the crisp chart is more than the same amount for the fuzzy chart. Finally, the efficiency of the fuzzy chart is more than the crisp chart, and also it timely gives essential alerts by means of linguistic terms. Consequently, it is more capable of detecting process shifts. Originality/value This research develops the fuzzy U control chart with variable sample size whose output is fuzzy. After creating control charts, performance evaluation in the industry is important. The main contribution of this paper is to employs the FOC curve for evaluating the performance of the fuzzy control chart, while in prior studies in this area, the performance of fuzzy control chart has not been evaluated.

The diagnosis tests (DT) under classical statistics are applied under the assumption that all observations in the data are determined. Therefore, these DT cannot be applied for the analysis of the data when some or all observations are not determined. The neutrosophic statistics (NS) which is the extension of classical statistics can be applied for the data having uncertain, unclear, and fuzzy observations. In this paper, we will present the DT, and gold-standard tests under NS are called neutrosophic diagnosis tests (NDT). Therefore, the proposed NDT is the generalization of the existing DT and can be applied under the uncertainty environment. We will present the NDT table and present a real example from the medical field. The use of the proposed method will be more effective and adequate to be used in medical science, biostatistics, decision, and classification analysis.

The variable data is obtained from the measurement process which is not fully complete or clear in nature due to measurement error. The neutrosophic statistics which is the extension of classical statistics can be applied in the industry for the lot senescing when observations or parameters are uncertain or indeterminate or unclear. In this manuscript, a new sampling plan for the measurement error using the neutrosophic statistics is designed. The proposed sampling plan has two neutrosophic parameters, namely, sample size and acceptance number. The neutrosophic operating function is also given. The neutrosophic plan parameters will be determined through the neutrosophic optimization problem. Some tables are given for some specified parameters. From the comparison study, it is concluded that the proposed sampling plan is more flexible, adequate, and effective in the uncertainty environment as compared to the existing sampling plan under the classical statistics. A real example is given for the illustration purpose.

The Hotelling T-squared statistic has been widely used for the testing of differences in means for the multivariate data. The existing statistic under classical statistics is applied when observations in multivariate data are determined, precise, and exact. In practice, it is not necessary that all observations in the data are determined and precise due to measurement in complex situations and under uncertainty environment. In this paper, we will introduce the Hotelling T-squared statistic under neutrosophic statistics (NS) which is the generalization of classical statistics and applied under uncertainty environment. We will discuss the application and advantage of the neutrosophic Hotelling T-squared statistic with the aid of data. From the comparison, we will conclude that the proposed statistic is more adequate and effective in uncertainty.

Parts manufacturers use sudden death testing to reduce the testing time of experiments. The sudden death testing plan in the literature can only be applied when all observations of failure time/parameters are crisp. In practice however, it is noted that not all measurements of continuous variables are precise. Therefore, the existing sudden death test plan can be applied if failure data/or parameters are imprecise, incomplete, and fuzzy. The classical statistics have the special case of neutrosophic statistics when there are no fuzzy observations/parameters. The neutrosophic fuzzy statistics can be applied for the testing of manufacturing parts when observations are imprecise, incomplete and fuzzy. In this paper, we will design an original neutrosophic fuzzy sudden death testing plan for the inspection/testing of the electronic product or parts manufacturing. We will assume that the lifetime of the product follows the neutrosophic fuzzy Weibull distribution. The neutrosophic fuzzy operating function will be given and used to determine the neutrosophic fuzzy plan parameters through a neutrosophic fuzzy optimization problem. The results of the proposed neutrosophic fuzzy death testing plan will be implemented with the aid of an example.

AbstractThis article presents a new control chart for monitoring reliability using sudden death testing under the neutrosophic statistics (NS). The average run lengths of the in-control and the out-of-control process have been determined for evaluating the quick detection ability for small and moderate shifts. For the industrial use, tables and figures have been presented for different parameters. The proposed control chart is efficient in comparison with the existing control chart under classical statistics and value addition in the toolkit of the quality control personnel.

This paper will introduce the neutrosophic COM-Poisson (NCOM-Poisson) distribution. Then, the design of the attribute control chart using the NCOM-Poisson distribution is given. The structure of the control chart under the neutrosophic statistical interval method will be given. The algorithm to determine the average run length under neutrosophic statistical interval system will be given. The performance of the proposed control chart is compared with the chart based on classical statistics in terms of neutrosophic average run length (NARL). A simulation study and a real example are also added. From the comparison of the proposed control chart with the existing chart, it is concluded that the proposed control chart is more efficient in detecting a shift in the process. Therefore, the proposed control chart will be helpful in minimizing the defective product. In addition, the proposed control chart is more adequate and effective to apply in uncertainty environment.

The existing Shewhart X-bar control charts using the exponentially weighted moving average statistic are designed under the assumption that all observations are precise, determined, and known. In practice, it may be possible that the sample or the population observations are imprecise or fuzzy. In this paper, we present the designing of the X-bar control chart under the symmetry property of normal distribution using the neutrosophic exponentially weighted moving average statistics. We will first introduce the neutrosophic exponentially weighted moving average statistic, and then use it to design the X-bar control chart for monitoring the data under an uncertainty environment. We will determine the neutrosophic average run length using the neutrosophic Monte Carlo simulation. The efficiency of the proposed plan will be compared with existing control charts.
