Abstract:

An evaluation of multivariate monitoring scheme performances is provided. Monitoring schemes include traditional multivariate techniques, such as the MEWMA and T2 control charts, and a technique using neural networks. The neural network approach is shown to be a viable monitoring technique for complex multivariate problems, such as those found in health surveillance.
