This inevitably produces large-scale data and causes difficulties in fault classification. Actually, the classification methods are simply intractable when applied to high-dimensional condition monitoring data. In order to solve the problem, engineers have to resort to complicated feature extraction methods to reduce the dimensionality of data. However, the features transformed by the methods cannot be understood by the engineers due to a loss of the original engineering meaning. In this paper, other forms of dimensionality reduction technique（feature selection methods） are employed to identify machinery condition, based only on frequency spectrum data. Feature selection methods are usually divided into three main types： filter, wrapper and embedded methods. Most studies are mainly focused on the first two types, whilst the development and application of the embedded feature selection methods are very limited. This paper attempts to explore a novel embedded method. The method is formed by merging a sequential bidirectional search algorithm into scale parameters tuning within a kernel function in the relevance vector machine. To demonstrate the potential for applying the method to machinery fault diagnosis, the method is implemented to rolling bearing experimental data. The results obtained by using the method are consistent with the theoretical interpretation, proving that this algorithm has important engineering significance in revealing the correlation between the faults and relevant frequency features. The proposed method is a theoretical extension of relevance vector machine, and provides an effective solution to detect the fault-related frequency components with high efficiency.展开更多

In this paper, the non-linear support vector regression (SVR) method was optimized for the application in stock index prediction. The parameters (C, σ) of SVR models were selected by three different methods of grid search (GRID), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA).The optimized parameters were used to predict the opening price of the test samples. The predictive results shown that the SVR model with GRID (GRID-SVR), the SVR model with PSO (PSO-SVR) and the SVR model with GA (GA-SVR) were capable to fully demonstrate the time-dependent trend of stock index and had the significant prediction accuracy. The minimum root mean square error (RMSE) of the GA-SVR model was 15.630, the minimum mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) equaled to 0.39% and the correspondent optimal parameters (C, σ) were identified as (45.422, 0.012). The appreciated modeling results provided theoretical and technical reference for investors to make a better trading strategy.展开更多
