ControlRuleSetRemarks
Evaluates the three most commonly applied IHI rules:
- PointBeyondControlLimits — one point beyond ±3σ (window length 1).
- ConsecutivePointsOnSameSide(Int32) with run length 8 — eight consecutive points on the same side of the center line (window length 8). The IHI convention uses run length 8, shorter than the Nelson standard's run length of 9.
- ConsecutiveIncreasingOrDecreasing(Int32) with run length 6 — six consecutive points continuously increasing or decreasing (window length 6).
Intended for Shewhart run charts and control charts in healthcare quality-improvement contexts following IHI guidance. Not suitable for EWMA or CUSUM charts.
