Exponentially weighted moving average-based procedure with adaptive thresholding for monitoring nonlinear profiles: Monitoring of plasma etch process in semiconductor manufacturing

TL;DR: Wavelet-based exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) test statistic with adaptive thresholding method, which extracts several significant coefficients from original functional data in the wavelet domain and monitors out-of-control events, is proposed and local shift monitoring with functional data is more significant than the detection of global shifting patterns.
