denoted as 'k,' and incorporating an exponential
smoothing limiting factor. This modified approach
outperforms both existing EWMA control charts in
terms of Average Run Length (ARL).
The ARL is a measurement method utilized in
control charts to assess performance, and it can be
categorized into two components. Firstly, ARL0,
also known as in-control ARL, represents the
average number of data points before an out-of-
control condition is detected. Simultaneously,
ARL1, which pertains to out-of-control situations,
denotes the average number of data points that fall
outside control limits before the process is
recognized as out-of-control. The objective is to
keep ARL1 as small as possible. Various methods
can be employed to evaluate ARL, such as explicit
formulas, the Markov chain approach (MCA), or
numerical integral equations (NIE). Researchers
commonly employ these methods to determine
ARL in a variety of contexts. For instance, [8],
utilized the martingale approach to derive explicit
formulas for ARL and average delay time. They
compared these results to performance metrics
under the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average
(EWMA) and other measures in the exponential
distribution. The study, [9], employed Fredholm's
second-kind integral equations method to resolve
ARL in the context of the EWMA procedure for
AR(1) processes. The study, [10], considered the
numerical integral equation (NIE) method,
employing Gauss-Legendre quadrature rules, to
analyze the modified exponentially weighted
moving average (Modified EWMA) control chart
for MA(1) processes with exponential white noise.
The study, [11], derived approaches involving
Markov chains and integral equations to evaluate
ARL in the context of CUSUM and EWMA control
charts. The study, [12], employed the Fredholm
integral equation approach to establish an explicit
formula for calculating the ARL in CUSUM
control charts based on the SAR(P)L with a trend
process. Furthermore, researcher conducted a
comparative analysis with the NIE approach.
Building on this work, [13], derived an explicit
formula and extended the NIE method for ARL
calculations in CUSUM charts when dealing with
observations that follow seasonal autoregressive
models with exogenous variables, specifically
SARX(P,r)L with exponential white noise. In
another research endeavor, [14] introduced a novel
explicit formula for ARL in EWMA control charts,
focusing on stationary moving average processes
with exogenous variables represented as MAX(q,r).
Their approach made innovative use of the
Fredholm integral equation technique. The study,
[15], conducted an explicit formula was developed
for ARL in CUSUM control charts, considering a
seasonal autoregressive model with one exogenous
variable (SARX(1,1)L). They also compared their
results to those obtained through NIE, employing
various numerical integration techniques such as
the Gaussian rule, the Midpoint rule, and the
Trapezoidal rule. Furthermore, [16], introduced a
new solution for calculating ARL within the
context of the EWMA control chart, specifically
when the process adheres to the SMAX(Q,r)L
model. This explicit ARL solution for the
SMAX(Q,r)L process is analyzed using the
Fredholm integral equation method.
The observers typically encounter situations
governed by Stochastic processes, which involve
accidental time-space or time-series dynamics.
Moreover, these processes often originate from
econometric models, specifically the autoregressive
(AR) model and moving average (MA) model.
However, these situations tend to exhibit
unpredictability in their movement patterns, and the
error factors from discrepancies between actual
values and predictions. Consequently, they evolve
into seasonal moving average (SMA) models.
Subsequently, in cases where the time-series errors
follow a white noise pattern and there is auto-
correlated due to seasonal factors, it is referred to
as exponential white noise, [17], [18], [19].
Exogenous variables are defined as those not
directly influenced by other variables, and they find
frequent application in econometric models.
Furthermore, processes that incorporate exogenous
variables, especially multiple exogenous variables
simultaneously, often yield enhanced performance.
Consequently, the components of the AR, MA,
SAR, or SMA models incorporating exogenous
variables are designated as ARX, MAX, SARX,
and SMAX, respectively. The Numerical Integral
Equation (NIE) method is widely adopted for
explaining continuous distributions. Additionally,
researchers who explore these methods often make
comparisons with explicit formulas while assessing
the performance of a modified EWMA control
chart, [14], [15], [16], [20], [21], [22].
The preceding research underscores the
utilization of the Numerical Integral Equation
(NIE) method to conduct a comparative analysis of
explicit Average Run Length (ARL) formulas in
various control chart contexts, encompassing
CUSUM, EWMA, and modified EWMA control
charts, across different models such as AR(1),
MA(1), AR(p), and ARX(p,r). Notably, there has
been a gap in the exploration of the modified
EWMA control chart applied to the MAX(q,r)
