The paper describes implementation in APL of some methods of pattern recognition. These general-purpose techniques of data analysis are illustrated by application to Nuclear Power Plant Diagnostics. In particular we consider vibration spectra analysis, including simple descriptive statistics, smoothing and peak extractions, multidimensional scaling for data visualization, informative features selection, cluster analysis and classification.Implementation of algorithms used in the paper has been done in Dyalog APL. The paper discusses benefits of using APL for the problem area.Application is based on analysis of real vibration characteristics measured at the Nuclear Power Plant in Novovoronehz. The paper discusses the technology of the analysis, the discovered data structure, and malfunction diagnostics.The paper also mentions using the implemented techniques in the training of engineers for Nuclear Power plant and other applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
