Quantlet: spcewma1pmf
Description: Computes the probability mass function (PMF, P(L=i)) and the cumulative distribution function (CDF, P(L<=i)) of a one-sided EWMA chart run length for given i. The data are normally distributed with variance 1.

Reference(s):

Usage: pLi = spcewma1pmf (mu, lambda, c, Li, zreflect, r)
Input:
mu scalar representing the expected value of the user-defined random variable
lambda scalar representing the smoothing parameter
c scalar, critical value
Li scalar, ARL of a SPC scheme starting in points Li
zreflect scalar representing a pre-defined border. It is usually less than zero.
r scalar, matrix dimension of the approximating one-dimensional Markov chain. The larger r, the better is the approximation.
Output:
pLi n x 1 vector containing the values of the probability mass function and the corresponding cumulative distribution function at defined points Li.

Note:

Example:
; PMF and CDF of the one-sided EWMA run length with
; in-control ARL = 100, smoothing parameter lambda = 0.5
; and matrix dimension 50(of the approximating one-dimensional
; Markov chain), for i in {1,10,20,30,40,50,75,100,150,200}:
library("spc")
Li = #(1,10,20,30,40,50,75,100,150,200)
c = spcewma1c(100, 0.5, -4, 50)
pLi = spcewma1pmf(0,0.5,c,Li,-4,50)
