Abstract:

Abnormal data detection during thermal processes is the basis for performing system modeling, control, and optimization and constitutes an important part of data processing. In this paper, an unsupervised outlier detection algorithm during thermal processes based on an improved Gaussian mixture model is proposed. The algorithm captures a class of data clusters under specific working conditions by using Gaussian components in each dimension, modifies the posterior probability density of the traditional model by adding penalty constraint factors to penalize the false detection and missed detection items, and identifies abnormal data according to the correlation differences with the clusters. The simulation experimental results show that the model can accurately locate the abnormal data location under a variety of error conditions with strong generalization performance, and the overall detection effects of false detection and missed detection items are improved by 37.8% and 15% compared with the traditional Gaussian mixture model, which proves the effectiveness of the model improvement.
