“…Therefore, automatic methods receive greater importance. A collection of automatic methods (Kano’s shape based methods , and Yamashita’s shape based method, cross-correlation method (CORR), histogram based method (HIST), curve fitting method (CURVE), relay technique (RELAY), area peak method (AREA), Hammerstein system based methods (HAMM1, HAMM2, and HAMM3) (Chapters 10–12 in Jelali and Huang), surrogate analysis based method, and bicoherence method (BIC)) reported up to 2009 was provided and discussed in an edited book published by Jelali and Huang . In Chapter 13 of Jelali and Huang, BIC, CORR, HIST, CURVE, RELAY, AREA, HAMM2, and HAMM3 were applied to 20 industrial control loops, in which the actual root causes of oscillations are known, and the comparison made among the results of all methods revealed that BIC and HAMM2 provide a smaller number of false alarms than the remaining methods.…”
