Comparing alternative approaches for multivariate statistical analysis of batch process data

Abstract

Batch process data can be arranged in a three‐way matrix (batch × variable × time). This paper provides a critical discussion of various aspects of the treatment of these multiway data. First, several methods that have been proposed for decomposing three‐way data matrices are discussed in the context of batch process data analysis and monitoring. These methods are multiway principal component analysis (MPCA)—also called Tucker1—parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) and Tucker3. Secondly, different ways of unfolding, mean centering and scaling the three‐way matrix are compared and discussed with respect to their effects on the analysis of batch data. Finally, the role of the time variable in batch process data is considered and methods suggested to predict the per cent completion of batch runs with unequal duration are discussed.

A Robust Procedure for Damage Detection from Strain Measurements Based on Principal Component Analysis

“…If it is desired to get more precise information is necessary to study each of these planes containing the different principal component projections. As Westerhuis shown, the sum of the variances of the two first principal components, exceed 80% of the original data variance [3]. In Figure 7 is evident a separation between the baseline and different damage cases and a very good fit between the baseline and the undamaged case.…”

Damage detection by using FBGs and strain field pattern recognition techniques

“…If it is desired to obtain more precise information it is necessary to study each of these planes containing the different principal component projections. As Westerhuis et al showed, the sum of the variances of the two first principal components exceeds 80% of the original data variance for most cases (Westerhuis et al 1999). In this particular case, the two first principal components explain more than 95% of the variance.…”

Wind Turbine Multi-Fault Detection and Classification Based on SCADA Data

“…In this work, the contribution resides essentially in how data are collected, how data are arranged, how data are pre-processed, and how SVM is applied. For instance, in [38,39] it can be noted that there are six possible ways of arranging a third-order tensor. Each one of these six possible choices will lead to a different overall performance of the applied strategy.…”
