# Control charts for monitoring a scalar quality characteristic adjusted for by the effect of functional covariates

In this vignette we show how to use the `funcharts` package to apply the methods proposed in Capezza et al. (2020) to build control charts for monitoring scalar quality characteristic adjusted for by the effect of functional covariates, based on scalar-on-function regression. Let us show how the `funcharts` package works through an example with the dataset `air`, which has been included from the R package `FRegSigCom` and is used in the paper of Qi and Luo (2019). The authors propose a function-on-function regression model of the `NO2` functional variable on all the other functional variables available in the dataset. In order to show how the package works, we consider a scalar-on-function regression model, where we take the mean of `NO2` at each observation as the scalar response and all other functions as functional covariates.

First of all, starting from the discrete data, let us build the multivariate functional data objects of class `mfd`, see `vignette("mfd")`.

    library(funcharts)
    data("air")
    fun_covariates <- names(air)[names(air) != "NO2"]
    mfdobj_x <- get_mfd_list(air[fun_covariates], grid = 1:24)

Then, we extract the scalar response variable, i.e. the mean of `NO2` at each observation:

    y <- rowMeans(air$NO2)

In order to perform the statistical process monitoring analysis, we divide the data set into a phase I and a phase II dataset.

    rows1 <- 1:300
    rows2 <- 301:355
    mfdobj_x1 <- mfdobj_x[rows1]
    mfdobj_x2 <- mfdobj_x[rows2]
    y1 <- y[rows1]
    y2 <- y[rows2]

## Scalar-on-function regression

We can build a scalar-on-function linear regression model where the response variable is a linear function of the multivariate functional principal components scores. The principal components to retain in the model can be selected with `selection` argument. Three alternatives are available (default is `variance`):

- if “variance” (default), the first M multivariate functional principal components are retained into the MFPCA model such that together they explain a fraction of variance greater than `tot_variance_explained`,
- if “PRESS”, each j-th functional principal component is retained into the MFPCA model if, by adding it to the set of the first j-1 functional principal components, then the predicted residual error sum of squares (PRESS) statistic decreases, and at the same time the fraction of variance explained by that single component is greater than `single_min_variance_explained.` This criterion is used in Capezza et al. (2020).
- if “gcv”, the criterion is equal as in the previous “PRESS” case, but the “PRESS” statistic is substituted by the generalized cross-validation (GCV) score.

Here, we use default values:

    mod <- sof_pc(y = y1, mfdobj_x = mfdobj_x1)

As a result you get a list with several arguments, among which the original data used for model estimation, the result of applying `pca_mfd` on the multivariate functional covariates, the estimated regression model. It is possible to plot the estimated functional regression coefficients, which is also a multivariate functional data object of class `mfd`:

    plot_mfd(mod$beta)

Moreover bootstrap can be used to obtain uncertainty quantification:

    plot_bootstrap_sof_pc(mod, nboot = 10)

## Control charts

We can build the regression control chart to monitor the scalar response, as performed in Capezza et al. (2020). The function `regr_cc_sof` provides a data frame with all the information required to plot the desired control charts. Among the arguments, you can pass the arguments `y_tuning` and `mfdobj_x_tuning` set, that are not used for model estimation/training, but only to estimate control chart limits. If these arguments are not provided, control chart limits are calculated on the basis of the training data. The arguments `y_new` and `mfdobj_x_new` contain the phase II data set of observations of the scalar response and the functional covariates to be monitored, respectively. The function `plot_control_charts` returns the plot of the control charts.

    cclist <- regr_cc_sof(object = mod,
                          y_new = y2,
                          mfdobj_x_new = mfdobj_x2)
    plot_control_charts(cclist)
