Arguments

data: the observed data values
center: sample/group center statistic.
sizes: samples sizes.
std.dev: within group standard deviation.
nsigmas: a numeric value specifying the number of sigmas to use for computing control limits. It is ignored when the conf argument is provided.
conf: a numeric value in \((0,1)\) specifying the confidence level to use for computing control limits.
...: catches further ignored arguments.
