spc_hotelling_t2 — SPC multivariate op

Data kinds: matrixtable

Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.spc_hotelling_t2(data, alpha=0.0027, mean=None, cov=None) (to call the implementation directly, import spc; spc.spc_hotelling_t2(data, alpha=0.0027, mean=None, cov=None); from the registry, opsspc.get("spc_hotelling_t2"))

Usage

Multivariate SPC by Hotelling's T² with an F-distributed control limit.

`data is a 2-D array of shape (m, p)m observations of p`

correlated features. With the sample mean vector `mu and covariance S`

(unless passed in explicitly), each row's statistic is::

T^2_i = (x_i - mu)' S^-1 (x_i - mu)

charted against the phase-II control limit::

UCL = p (m+1)(m-1) / (m (m-p)) * F_{alpha, p, m-p}

at false-alarm rate `alpha` (default 0.0027, the 3-sigma-equivalent). Returns

a dict with the per-row `t2 array, the ucl`, the integer indices

`out_of_control, and in_control. The mean row (x == mu`) has

`T^2 == 0` (pinned in the tests).

Raises `ValueError`: a non-2-D / empty *data*, fewer observations than

features plus one (covariance not invertible), `alpha outside (0, 1)`, a

singular covariance, or non-finite / mislabelled input.
