ABSTRACT
This article deals with the monitoring of type-I censored data using coefficient of variation (CV) control chart based on conditional expected values (CEVs) for Rayleigh lifetimes under type-I censoring. In particular, the censored data is replaced by the CEV to develop an efficient design structure. The main focus is to detect shifts in the mean of Rayleigh lifetimes assuming censored data. The performance of the proposed CEV based CV chart is evaluated by the average run length (ARL). Besides the simulation study, monitoring of a real-life dataset of 30 average daily wind speeds (in kilometers/hour) for the month of November 2007 at Elanora Heights is also discussed.
