The asymptotic dependence between the central quasi-ranges and empirical quantiles was studied. The asymptotic dependence are obtained when the sample size is a positive integer valued random variable (r. v.). The dependence conditions and limit forms are obtained under generl conditions such as : the interrelation of the basic variables (the original random sample) and the random sample size is not restricted. In additition the normalizing constants do not depend on the random size.

Variable sampling rate (VSR) control charts vary the sampling interval and/or the sample size according to value of the control statistic. It is known that $\bar{X}$ charts with VSR scheme lead to large improvements in performance over those with fixed sampling rate (FSR) scheme. In this paper, we studied $\bar{X}$ charts with several VSR schemes, and compared their statistical performance each other.

This paper focuses on the in-house reliability assurance plan for the bulk materials of each company. The reliability assurance needs in essence a long time and high cost for testing the materials. In order to reduce the time and cost, accelerated life test is adopted. The bulk sampling technique was used for acceptance. Design parameters might be total sample size(segments and increments}, stress level and so on. We focus on deciding the sample size by minimizing the asymptotic variance of test statistics as well as satisfying the consumer's risk. In bulk sampling, we also induce the sample size by adapting the normal life time distribution model when the variable of the lognormal life time distribution is transformed and adapted to the model. In addition, the sample size for both the segments and increments can be induced by minimizing the asymptotic variance of test statistics of the segments and increments with consumer's risk met. We can assure the reliability of the mean life and B100p life time of the bulk materials by using the calculated minimum sample size.

This paper proposes a curtailed-sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) control chart. For using the conventional SPRT control chart, the number of items inspected in a sampling point should have no restriction since items in a sampling point are inspected one by one until an SPRT Is terminated. The number of observations taken in a sampling point, however, has an upper bound since sampling and testing of an item is time-consuming or expensive. When the sample size reaches the upper bound without evidence of an in-control or out-of-control state of a process, the proposed chart makes a decision using the sample mean of all observations taken in a sampling point. The properties of the Proposed chart are obtained by a Markov chain approach and the performance of the chart is compared with fixed sample size (FSS) and variable sample size (VSS) control charts. A comparative study shows that the proposed chart performs better than VSS control charts as well as conventional FSS control charts.

Adaptive sampling design is the selection procedure which depends on observed values of the variable of interest. It is the method which could be applied to the rare and unapproachable population. Adaptive cluster sampling strategies are more efficient than simple random sampling on equivalent sample size. Adaptive sampling with new estimators through the Rao-blackwell method have lower variance than Horvitz-Thompson (HT) and Hansen-Hurwitz (HH). Also, to determine suitable sample size, it was used expected sample and the method finding appropriate sample size by changing initial sample size were studied.

During the past two decades, a huge amount of research on adaptive control charts has been accomplished. Especially, variable sampling interval (VSI), variable sample size (VSS), and variable sample size and sampling interval (VSSI) charts have been focused by many researchers due to their simplicity and efficiency. On the other hand, the difference among notations, assumptions, methodologies may cause confusions in per forming further studies or practical implementations. This research analyses and compares diverse models so as to provide a unified view on statistical and economical characteristics. As a result, we perform comparative study on economical design models of VSI, VSS, and VSSI charts, respectively, We also present practical guidelines to utilize those adaptive control charts.

Traditional SPC techniques are looking out variation of process by fixed sampling interval and fixed sample size about every hour, the process of in-control or out-of-control couldn't be detected actually when the sample points are plotted near control limits, and it takes no notice of expense concerned with such sample points. In this paper, to overcome that, consider VSI(variable sampling interval) EWMA control charts which VSI method is applied. The VSI control charts use a short sampling internal if previous sample points are plotted near control limits, then the process has high probability of out-of-control. But it uses a long sampling interval if they are plotted near centerline of the control chart, since process has high possibility of in-control. And then a comparison and analysis between FSI(fixed sampling interval) and VSI EWMA in the statistical aspect and economic aspect is studied. Finally, we show that VSI EWMA control chart is more efficient than FSI EWMA control chart in the both aspects.

In statistical process control applications, variable sample size (VSS) $\bar{X}$ chart is often used to detect the assignable cause quickly. However, it is usually assumed that only one assignable cause results in the out-of-control in the process. In this paper, we propose the algorithm to minimize the function of cost per unit time and compare the economic design and the statistical design by use of the value of cost per unit time. We consider double assignable causes to occur with compound in the process and adopt the Markov chain approach to investigate the statistical properties of VSS $\bar{X}$ chart. A procedure that can calculate the control chart's parameters is proposed by the economic design.

A sampling plan is presented for situations where sampling inspection is based on the quality characteristic of interest and items in rejected lots are screened based on a correlated variable. A cost model is constructed which involves the costs of misclassification errors, sampling and screening inspections. A method of finding optimal values of sample size, acceptance number and cutoff value on the correlated variable is presented, and numerical studies are given.
