Diagnosing Manufacturing Variation Using Second-Order and Fourth-Order Statistics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article discusses a method that can aid in diagnosing root causes of product and process variability in complex manufacturing processes, when large amounts of multivariate in-process measurement data are available. A linear structured model, similar to the standard factor analysis model, is used to generically represent the variation patterns that result from the root causes. Blind source separation techniques form the basis for identifying the precise characteristics of each individual variation pattern in order to facilitate the identification of their root causes. The second-order and fourth-order statistics that are used in various blind separation algorithms are combined in an optimal manner to form a more effective and black-box method with wider applicability.

Direction-of-Arrival Estimation Based on Khatri-Rao Product and Redundancy Arrays
Difference co-array can be constructed by using Khatri-Rao (KR) product, which can increase the degrees of freedom (DOF) significantly. Combined with fourth order cumulants, the KR product can be used to constructed fourth order difference co-array. The fourth order difference co-array of a four level nested array contains a uniform linear array (ULA), however, its second order difference co-ar...

متن کاملTHIRD-ORDER AND FOURTH-ORDER ITERATIVE METHODS FREE FROM SECOND DERIVATIVE FOR FINDING MULTIPLE ROOTS OF NONLINEAR EQUATIONS
In this paper, we present two new families of third-order and fourth-order methods for finding multiple roots of nonlinear equations. Each of them requires one evaluation of the function and two of its first derivative per iteration. Several numerical examples are given to illustrate the performance of the presented methods.
