The invention discloses an industrial production process fault monitoring method based on a hierarchical non-
Gaussian monitoring
algorithm. The industrial production process fault monitoring method comprises the steps of collecting
train data and to-be-detected data, calculating the cross-entropy between every two input variables, according to the cross-entropy, dividing all the input variables into various subblocks, building a non-
Gaussian monitoring model in each subblock by utilizing a two-layer non-
Gaussian monitoring
algorithm to extract data of the non-Gaussian part in each subblock, and calculating
control limits and a statistic amount of the data of the non-Gaussian parts; in each subblock, calculating data of the remaining Gaussian part to obtain the
control limits and statisticamount of the Gaussian parts; conducting fault detection through the
control limits and the statistic amount. The industrial production process fault monitoring method based on the hierarchical non-Gaussian monitoring
algorithm is better than other traditional methods in fault detection of the non-
Gaussian process, not only can the highly complex
coupling relationship among variables be sufficiently considered, but also the non-Gaussian part of the data with unknown distribution characteristics can be extracted, and thus the fault detection in the
chemical engineering process is more efficientand more accurate.
