Data-driven Inferential Solutions for Control System Fault Diagnosis A typical modern process system consists of hundreds or even thousands of control loops, which are overwhelming for plant personnel to monitor. The main objectives of this book are to establish a new framework for control system fault diagnosis, to synthesize observations of different monitors with a prior knowledge, and to pinpoint possible abnormal sources on the basis of Bayesian theory. "Process Control System Fault Diagnosis: A Bayesian Approach" consolidates results developed by the authors, along with the fundamentals, and presents them in a systematic way. The book provides a comprehensive coverage of various Bayesian methods for control system fault diagnosis, along with a detailed tutorial. The book is useful for graduate students and researchers as a monograph and as a reference for state-of-the-art techniques in control system performance monitoring and fault diagnosis. Since several self-contained practical examples are included in the book, it also provides a place for practicing engineers to look for solutions to their daily monitoring and diagnosis problems. Key features: - A comprehensive coverage of Bayesian Inference for control system fault diagnosis. - Theory and applications are self-contained. - Provides detailed algorithms and sample Matlab codes. - Theory is illustrated through benchmark simulation examples, pilot-scale experiments and industrial application. "Process Control System Fault Diagnosis: A Bayesian Approach" is a comprehensive guide for graduate students, practicing engineers, and researchers who are interests in applying theory to practice
