Existing Methods

• Polynomials (Classical DoE): – Classical Linear models, – Mathematically well defined and expressed – Exposed to measurement anomalies – Limited in expressing complex conditions

• Neural Networks: – More complex systems can be described – Larger sets of parameters (known Parameters by experts) can be included – Also automatic recognition features (help from Anatoly) – Mathematically beautiful, but implementation and understanding of the solution itself is a

challenge – This leads to difficulty to apply calibration – Regular operator and expert interference – over-fitting problem! – Not suitable for real-time applications

• Machine Learning – Captures complexity very well – Little need for model calibration and parameterisation – Computationally heavy, rendering it difficult in real-time application – Reliance on statistical analysis throughout (some may consider it strength – some weakness)

But finds patterns

But What about…

• The Unknowns – The things that we have not noticed but beam data and information to us. [some NN and Machine learning deal with it but is it effective/efficient]

• Do they impact my system?

• Is the model sufficient to describe internal and external changes that occur?

• How do I make the system works to specifications when it is in the field?

• Can I change and adapt the system as its internal and external environment change/evolve?

• Converging with Learning Machine and NN – may be an effective way to

accelerate learning… becoming a member of the family

EventTracking and Clustering

If we have the ability to capture all the data possible with the sphere of the problem: • Is it possible to explore their impact on the state of the system one

by one and group by group?

• Is it rationally and computationally possible/feasible?

• What will we achieve by it?

• Will the results be in good time to help?

• Can I validate and verify them quickly?

• Can I put it into any good use?

Typical Systems Modelling

The aim is to reduce the project cycle time by 50% using the Event-Based modelling

Step 1 Event Tracking

• Real-Time many-to-one correlation analysis in real time.

• Provides a good indication of the impact of various events on performance indicators.

• Verifies the known relations and finds new unknown relations

Step 2 Event Clustering – The Scenario Builder

• Event Clustering, coincidence matrix of events at given times

• Identifies the group of input and output events that coincide

Scenario n

• Compare the matrices of state and combine similar scenarios (distance analysis) • Euclidean distance is a good starter • Number of States is less than or equal number of scenarios

Step 4 Look up table for system setting

• Go back to the actual values of the parameters

• Find cases of interest (e.g. best system condition, worse condition, risk, bottleneck, stability, hazard, …)

• Create a lookup table.

Step 5 Validation and verification

• Setting up experiments on the actual system or the simulator.

• Validate if the they are true solutions, following scenarios my apply: – Instantaneous solution (by setting the controllable parameters the expected

results are achieved) – solution with no delay (e.g. changing the angle of a gate to control flow)

– The settings are implemented but it takes a fixed amount of time to reach solution - solution with delay (e.g. starting the heating but the material reaches the ideal temperature in t time)

– Multiple occurrence – a specific state/scenario needs to be repeated several times for an output to be reached - repetition of a setting for a finite number of time (e.g. failures or breakdown)

– Conditional Process – a number of various setting aligned together in a sequence – Process-based solution, scenario 1 to n should align in a sequence for an output to be reached (e.g. completion of an assembly) – Markovian chain

Comparisons between other known techniques

• We are yet to stabilise and understand what we are trying to do – with limited resources, challenging well established techniques requires time and collaboration with colleagues

• Neural Network – It is underway in a project with JEV Power Plant in Malaysia to explore the optimisation of Harmonic Filters… we will soon release the outcome.

• Entropy Based Sensitivity Analysis – small comparisons through a PG dissertation.

Aircraft velocity down (veld_gin) Altitude (alt_gin)

Aircraft velocity east (vele_gin) Pitch angle (ptch_gin)

Aircraft velocity north (veln_gin) Roll angle (roll_gin)

16

These data were considered due to their the apparent relationship between the aircraft velocity and the altitude, pitch angle and roll angle. (simplified for proof of concept)

Why Entropy

• We had worked on the theory before. • Krzykacz-Hausmann1 uses Shannon’s Theory2 of communication to

measure uncertainty by. • The entropy is defined as the measurement of loss of information in a

system3 . • In the particular case of SIL and HIL, Entropy Based Method can be used as

a mechanism for Sensitivity Analysis (Variable Selection) to compare the expected entropy and the actual and possibly interpreted as (sensitivity index).

• An important characteristic about the Entropy Based Method is that it is computationally efficient and may be deployed in Real-Time Applications.

• As a Sampling based methodology, it requires a sampling generation to decide a verifiable number of observations.

• Krzykacz-Hausmann equations for the Sensitivity Analysis were used in this example
