“…A huge amount of data including useful information can be collected (Huang & Yan, 2016b;Yan, Chen, Yao, & Huang, 2016). Fault detection is an important task as it is necessary in ensuring the stable production safety, maintaining quality stabilisation, and optimising production profit (Harrou, Kadri, Chaabane, Tahon, & Sun, 2015;Jiang, Song, & Ge, 2017;Shang, Zhou, & Yuan, 2014;Sun & Zhang, 2017;Xie, Sun, & Li, 2015;Zhang, Qi, Wang, Gao, & Wang, 2017;Zhong, Zhang, Ding, & Zhou, 2017). In order to ensure reliability and stabilisation, it is vital to develop effective fault detection methods for real industrial processes (Luo, Lovelett, & Ogunnaike, 2017;Maleki, Amiri, & Castagliola, 2017;Peng, Tang, Du, & Qian, 2017;Shang, Chen, & Ji, 2017;Wang, Yan, & Jiang, 2016;Zhang, Ren, Yao, Zou, & Wang, 2015).…”
