Hi,
I have a question related to Individual control charts. When the data is not normally distributed, we apply transformations and the control limits from this transformed data is calculated and used for original data if I am not wrong. Can you please tell me the reason how we can use transformed data control limits on original data? Why these control limits are different from the original data control limits?
Very useful post. Truly, its great article. will look forward to read more articles.
