A Novel Process Monitoring Method Based on Dynamic Related ReliefF-SFA Method

This paper proposes a condition monitoring method based on Dynamic Related ReliefF-SFA (DRRSFA), which solves the problem of huge variable dimensions and strong autocorrelation in process monitoring. First, the samples are mapped into a new space, and the slow projection components (SPCs) of the samples are calculated. The SPCs not only considers the autocorrelation between the variables, but also characterizes the inherent properties of the whole system. Second, the feature selection algorithm ReliefF is used to select the more weighted features, which is called the principal components(PCs) to achieve dimensionality reduction. Then the corresponding statistics and control limits are calculated based on the obtained PCs. Finally, the process monitoring using the proposed algorithm is performed by testing a numerical example and the actual production process data, and the results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
