A Novel Supervised Filter Feature Selection Method Based on Gaussian Probability Density for Fault Diagnosis of Permanent Magnet DC Motors

For permanent magnet DC motors (PMDCMs), the amplitude of the current signals gradually decreases after the motor starts. In this work, the time domain features and time-frequency-domain features extracted from several successive segments of current signals make up a feature vector, which is adopted...

description For permanent magnet DC motors (PMDCMs), the amplitude of the current signals gradually decreases after the motor starts. In this work, the time domain features and time-frequency-domain features extracted from several successive segments of current signals make up a feature vector, which is adopted for fault diagnosis of PMDCMs. Many redundant features will lead to a decrease in diagnosis efficiency and increase the computation cost, so it is necessary to eliminate redundant features and features that have negative effects. This paper presents a novel supervised filter feature selection method for reducing data dimension by employing the Gaussian probability density function (GPDF) and named Gaussian vote feature selection (GVFS). To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed GVFS, we compared it with the other five filter feature selection methods by utilizing the PMDCM’s data. Additionally, Gaussian naive Bayes (GNB), <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>k</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-nearest neighbor algorithm (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>k</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-NN), and support vector machine (SVM) are utilized for the construction of fault diagnosis models. Experimental results show that the proposed GVFS has a better diagnostic effect than the other five feature selection methods, and the average accuracy of fault diagnosis improves from 97.89% to 99.44%. This paper lays the foundation of fault diagnosis for PMDCMs and provides a novel filter feature selection method.
