Bayesian Estimation of Oscillator Parameters: Toward Anomaly Detection and Cyber-Physical System Security by Joseph M. Lukens, Ali Passian, Srikanth Yoginath, Kody J. H. Law, Joel A. Dawson

“…Anomaly detection in software-assisted physical systems, such as those employed in additive manufacturing or in DNA synthesis, is often hampered by the limited available parameter space of the underlying mechanism that is transducing the anomaly. As a result, the formulation of anomaly detection for such systems often leads to inverse or ill-posed problems, requiring statistical treatments. …”
