Download or read book Model Based Clustering and Classification for Data Science written by Charles Bouveyron and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cluster analysis finds groups in data automatically. Most methods have been heuristic and leave open such central questions as: how many clusters are there? Which method should I use? How should I handle outliers? Classification assigns new observations to groups given previously classified observations, and also has open questions about parameter tuning, robustness and uncertainty assessment. This book frames cluster analysis and classification in terms of statistical models, thus yielding principled estimation, testing and prediction methods, and sound answers to the central questions. It builds the basic ideas in an accessible but rigorous way, with extensive data examples and R code; describes modern approaches to high-dimensional data and networks; and explains such recent advances as Bayesian regularization, non-Gaussian model-based clustering, cluster merging, variable selection, semi-supervised and robust classification, clustering of functional data, text and images, and co-clustering. Written for advanced undergraduates in data science, as well as researchers and practitioners, it assumes basic knowledge of multivariate calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics.

Download or read book Gear Crack Detection Using Tooth Analysis written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gear cracks are typically difficult to diagnose with sufficient warning time. Significant damage must he present before algorithms detect the damage. A new feature extraction and two new detection techniques are proposed. The time synchronous averaging concept was extended from revolution-based to tooth engagement-based. The detection techniques are based on statistical comparisons among the averages for the individual teeth. These techniques were applied to a series of three seeded fault crack propagation tests. These tests were conducted on aerospace quality spur gears in a test rig. The tests were conducted at speeds ranging from 2500 to 7500 revolutions per minute and torque from 184 to 228 percent of design load. The inability to detect these cracks with high confidence may be caused by the high loading required to initiate the cracks. The results indicate that these techniques do not currently produce an indication of damage that significantly exceeds experimental scatter.

Download or read book Crack Detection for Aerospace Quality Spur Gears written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health and Usage Monitoring System research and development involves analysis of the vibration signals produced by a gearbox throughout its life. There are two major advantages of knowing the actual lifetime of a gearbox component: safety and cost. In this report, a technique is proposed to help extract the critical data and present it in a manner that can be easy to understand. The key feature of the technique is to make it independent of speed, torque and prior history for localized, single tooth damage such as gear cracks. This extraction technique is demonstrated on two sets of digitized vibration data from cracked spur gears. Standard vibration diagnostic parameters are calculated and presented for comparison. Several new detection algorithms are also presented. The results of this study indicate that crack detection methods examined are not robust or repeatable. The proposed techniques provide a limited improvement to existing diagnostic parameters. Current techniques show that the cracks progressed at a much faster rate than anticipated which reduced available time for detection.
