XBar-R chart control limits are calculated as follows:
NOTE: If subgroup size is variable, m is replaced with mi for ith subgroup limits. When subgroup size is variable, the control limit values will not be the same; therefore, the chart may display `city skyline' type control lines (when subgroup size is from 2 - 25).
