摘要

In practice, outliers, defined as data points that are distant from the other agglomerated data points in the same class, can seriously degrade diagnostic performance. To reduce diagnostic performance deterioration caused by outliers in data-driven diagnostics, an outlier-insensitive hybrid feature selection (OIHFS) methodology is developed to assess feature subset quality. In addition, a new feature evaluation metric is created as the ratio of the intraclass compactness to the interclass separability estimated by understanding the relationship between data points and outliers. The efficacy of the developed methodology is verified with a fault diagnosis application by identifying defect-free and defective rolling element bearings under various conditions.
