abstract
- Hundreds of papers on flawed statistical process monitoring (SPM) meth ods have appeared in the literature over the past decade or so. The presence of so many ill-advised methods, and so much incorrect theory, adversely affects the SPM research field. Critiques of some of the various misguided, and/or misrepresented, approaches have been published in the past 2 years in an effort to stem this tide. These critiques are briefly reviewed here. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
