Methods for Identifying Out-of-Trend Data in Analysis of Stability Measurements—Part II: By-Time-Point and Multivariate Control Chart
In Part I of this article series, the authors discussed the regression control chart method for identifying out-of-trend data in pharmaceutical stability studies. In Part II, the by-time-point method and the multivariate control chart method are investigated, and improved approaches are suggested. The method is illustrated using real data sets.

Abstract
This article is a continuation of Part I, in which the authors discussed the identification of out-of-trend (OOT) data in the stability studies of single batches using a regression control chart method (1).
If several batches are considered, there are two different time scales. The first one is the life within batches, which has been covered in Part I (1). The regression control chart uses this within-batch context. The second time scale is the order of batches. Two approaches are followed in this Part II article. The by-time-point method uses the between-batches context only, while the multivariate approach uses both between-batches and within-batches contexts.
