Method for calculating loads combination on a building using information measures

Abstract

A method for calculating loads combination on a building is considered using information measures of the connectivity of signals received from sensors of various physical nature, united in a wireless monitoring network. The method includes the definition of the most powerful information measure on the ensemble of process realizations with known a priori load data by the criterion of connectedness of time series. Then, based on the selected information measure, the connectivity of the signals for the ensemble of realizations of the random process of loads to the building from the network formed by the wireless monitoring data bank of time series is calculated. The volume of the data bank sufficient to make the correct decision about the combination of loads on the building with a predetermined error probability is calculated on the basis of a consistent criterion for the ratio of Wald probabilities. This method is easily algorithmized and can be used to develop an automated decision support system.
