A New State Recognition and Prognosis Method Based on a Sparse Representation Feature and the Hidden Semi-Markov Model

Abstract

Equipment degradation state recognition and prognosis are considered two significant parts of a prognostics and health management (PHM) system that help to reduce downtime and decrease economic losses. In this paper, a sparse representation (SR) feature is proposed as a new degradation feature, and the hidden semi-Markov model (HSMM) is established. The new method offers three significant advantages over the traditional HSMM. (1) Since the degradation information is incomplete, a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) is used here for degradation data clustering and state division. (2) A new degradation feature based on the wavelet packet transform (WPT) and SR can better extract the structural information of the collected signal and reflect the degradation characteristics. (3) To conduct remaining useful life (RUL) predictions, an improved model is proposed, which adds a control variable that can dynamically adjust the state duration. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated using 8 groups of bearing data from the Center for Intelligent Maintenance Systems (IMS). The results show that the HSMM with the SR feature achieves the best recognition accuracy, of 85.28%. Moreover, the improved prediction model achieves a prediction accuracy of 86.11% on average for 8 bearings.

Research on Autoarrangement System of Accompaniment Chords Based on Hidden Markov Model with Machine Learning

“…Generally, the neural network can have multiple layers, in addition to the input layer and output layer, and other Mathematical Problems in Engineering layer is known as the hidden layer; in hiding, each layer contains multiple neurons, and the output is the next layer of neurons in a layer of neurons input; this kind of connection mode constitutes the basic structure of neural network [12] and is also the foundation of the network information transmission. e specific structure of neuron is shown in Figure 1.…”

State Estimation and Remaining Useful Life Prediction of PMSTM Based on a Combination of SIR and HSMM

“…Hidden semi-Markov models (HSMMs) incorporate self-transition probabilities into the distribution of state durations and are widely used in health monitoring [25]. In reference [26][27][28], the dependence of the duration of adjacent degraded states in the HSMM has been described and modeled, resulting in more efficient and accurate online estimation of degraded states and the distribution of RUL. References [29][30][31] used different styles of Kalman filters to estimate the RULs of devices, such as motors and bearings.…”
