Diagnosis and prognosis of rolling element bearings at low speeds and varying load conditions using higher order statistics and artificial intelligence

“…Although many models have recently been applied with good generalization of results in predicting the RUL of bearings where they integrate the statistics (like the Kaplan-Meier estimator, Mahanalobis distance, principal component analysis (PCA) etc.) and artificial intelligent (AI) methods (e.g. artificial neural network (ANN), feed forward neural network (FFNN), recurrent neural network (RNN) etc.), it has been proven that using only the statistical method is not sufficient to give good predictions, but a hybrid of both methods often yield good results. exTSFRLSA is used on most occasions for tuning, adjusting parameters and for adaptation in the propagation model by comparing predicted and measured defect sizes as in, hence the instantaneous rate of defect propagation of the bearing can be captured despite defect growth behavior variation.…”

Developments in anaerobic digestion modelling by Ghoor, Tasneem

“…Determination of the parameters that required calibration was identified with sensitivity analysis. Due to the complexity of the physical, biological and aqueous interactions, many model simulations were needed to identify the important parameters with the lasso (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) feature selection method. …”
