Abstract

Processes described by indirectly observed data naturally arise in applications, such as telehealth systems. The available data can be used to predict the characteristics of interest, which form a process to be monitored. Its randomness is largely related to the classification (diagnosis) errors. To minimize them, one can use ensembles of predictors or try to benefit from the availability of heterogeneous sources of data. However, these techniques require certain modifications to the control charts, which we discuss in this paper. We consider three methods of classification: classical—based on the full set of attributes, and two combined—based on the number of positive evaluations yielded by an ensemble of inter-correlated classifiers. For monitoring the results of classification, we use a moving average control chart for serially dependent binary data. The application of the proposed procedure is illustrated with a real example of the monitoring of patients suffering from bipolar disorder. This monitoring procedure aims to detect a possible change in a patient’s state of health.
