초록본문(Abstract) This article concerns with the problem of monitoring incidence rates of the Poisson
distribution when sample size varies over time. Recently, a couple of cumulative sum
and exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control charts have been proposed to deal with this problem by taking the varying sample size into consideration.
However, we argue that some of these charts, which perform quite well in terms of
average run length, may not be appealing in practice because they have rather unsatisfactory run length distributions. The probability of false alarms from these charts may
increase dramatically after short-runs, which also results in extremely large standard
deviation of run lengths. Motivated by the finding that the classical EWMA control
chart can be derived under the framework of weighted likelihood, this paper suggests
a new EWMA control chart which automatically integrates the varying sample sizes
with the EWMA scheme. It is fast to compute, easy to construct and quite efficient
in detecting changes of Poisson rates. Our simulation results show that the proposed
chart is generally more effective and robust compared with existing EWMA charts.
A health surveillance example based on mortality data from New Mexico is used to
illustrate the implementation of the proposed method.
