Parametric and Non Parametric Multivariate Quality Control Charts

This contribution aims at analysing the problem of monitoring products/processes of multivariate quality measurements. Classical and parametric approaches are discussed together with new and non parametric ones. We focus particularly on the non parametric control schemes both for simple data as well as for batch and time dependent data. The advantages and drawbacks of the different approaches are compared by means of some examples and applications. Finally, some new developments on the control of complex and structured data, like symbolic data, are introduced.
