“…If some qualitative knowledge about a system is known, the qualitative knowledge-based method, such as expert system-based method [1] and Petri net-based method [30], can be used to infer the hidden behavior of the system. If the hybrid information is available, a number of theoretical methods have been employed to use the hybrid information for predicting the hidden behavior, such as hidden Markov model (HMM) [2], [8], [12], [15], [16], [32]- [34], [37], dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) [9], [13], [17], [19], [22], domain knowledge and statistical model-based method [10], qualitative knowledge and linear partial least square-based method [11], and fuzzy logic and artificial neural network (FL-ANN)-based method [18], [25].…”
