Recent Advances on Univariate Distribution-Free Shewhart-Type Control Charts

In this chapter, we provide an up-to-date overview of nonparametric Shewhart-type univariate control charts. The monitoring schemes incorporated in the present literature review depict the most recent developments on the topic, since it has been chosen to discuss only the advances appeared during the last decade. For each distribution-free control chart, the general setup and several performance characteristics are presented in some detail.
