A Method for Estimating the Confidence in the Identification of Nuclear Transients by a Bagged Ensemble of Fcm Classifiers

چکیده
The performance of diagnostic systems based on empirical models may vary in different zones of the training space. It is, thus, important to a-priori verify whether the model is working in a zone where the performance is expected to be satisfactory. In this respect, the objective of this work is to estimate the degree of confidence in the identification of nuclear transients by a diagnostic system based on a bagged ensemble of Supervised Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) classifiers. The method has been applied for classifying simulated transients in the feedwater system of a nuclear Boiling Water Reactor (BWR). The obtained results indicate that the bagging ensemble permits to achieve satisfactory performance, with a reliable estimation of the degree of confidence in the classification.

Classifier-ensemble incremental-learning procedure for nuclear transient identification at different operational conditions
An important requirement for the practical implementation of empirical diagnostic systems is the capability of classifying transients in all plant operational conditions. The present paper proposes an approach based on an ensemble of classifiers for incrementally learning transients under different operational conditions. New classifiers are added to the ensemble where transients occurring in n...
متن کاملClassifier Ensemble Framework: a Diversity Based Approach
Pattern recognition systems are widely used in a host of different fields. Due to some reasons such as lack of knowledge about a method based on which the best classifier is detected for any arbitrary problem, and thanks to significant improvement in accuracy, researchers turn to ensemble methods in almost every task of pattern recognition. Classification as a major task in pattern recognition,...
متن کاملA Novel Ensemble Approach for Anomaly Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Time-overlapped Sliding Windows
One of the most important issues concerning the sensor data in the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is the unexpected data which are acquired from the sensors. Today, there are numerous approaches for detecting anomalies in the WSNs, most of which are based on machine learning methods. In this research, we present a heuristic method based on the concept of “ensemble of classifiers” of data minin...
