| With the quick emergence of information technology, system complexity risesin every domain of modern industry. To enhance the ability of diagnosis and main-tainability, the importance of remain useful life prediction in prognostics and healthmanagement becomes vital. In this dissertation, a degradation trajectory similaritybased framework is used to improve the accuracy of RUL prediction model. Further-more, based on nonnegative sparse projection principle, a family of algorithms basedon projective nonnegative factorization is proposed for degradation feature extractionand achieved a higher accuracy of RUL prediction, The experimental results show thatwith the proposed algorithm for RUL prediction we can gain a better interpretationwhile pertains good predict result:To improve the efectiveness of feature extraction under non-gaussian and seriescorrelation condition, based on Bayesian sparse coding principle, a new AutoRelevance Determination Projective Nonnegative Matrix Factorization algorith-m is proposed for fnd better basis for fnding feature mode, which has a betterinterpretation.To incorporate neighborhood information for fnding more accurate basis for ex-tracted feature,neighbor preserving embedding is imposed to the original pro-jective nonnegative matrix factorization algorithm, and shows improvement infnding better feature for RUL prediction.To improve efectiveness and interpretability for regression model of health in-dex, a representative based selection strategy for Gaussian process regression modelling based on representor theorem is proposed, shows a faster learningspeed, and a better generalization ability in RUL prediction. |
