## 8. Component Isolation
- **Header**: Chart title (not explicitly labeled but implied by context).
- **Main Chart**: Plot area with axes, data lines, and markers.
- **Footer**: Legend box in the top-right corner.
## 9. Key Observations
- **CUSUM** maintains the most stable MER Average across all N values.
- **m^(1),L=1** and **m^(2),L=1** show significant declines as N increases, with `m^(1),L=1` starting higher but declining more sharply.
- **m^(1),L=5** and **m^(1),L=10** exhibit similar trends but with less pronounced declines compared to `m^(1),L=1`.
## 10. Conclusion
The chart illustrates the performance of different statistical methods (CUSUM, m^(1),L=1, m^(2),L=1, m^(1),L=5, m^(1),L=10) in terms of MER Average as a function of sample size (N). CUSUM demonstrates the most consistent performance, while methods with higher `L` values (e.g., L=5, L=10) show improved stability at larger N.
