I cannot recall the use of Runs Charts in quite the fashion that Mr. Scharin describes, i.e. as a substitute for a Control Chart when there are insufficient observations. That probably valueless observation aside, one might profitably look at Acheson Duncan's Quality Control and Industrial

Is it possible to compare two unrelated groups of samples using Hartley's F-max? In other words if I have two groups of samples, can I use Hartley's F-max to compare their "heterogeneity" without taking into account their respective means? Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
