Sensor-Based Bayesian Inference and Placement: Review and Examples

چکیده

Systems, complex or otherwise, can be monitored through sensors placed at various functional levels to infer information about system reliability parameters (and by extension, reliability characteristics). Sensor placement directly affects the quantity and utility of inferred information, and need to be judiciously located throughout the relevant system. Sensors can be embedded or attached upon components, sub-systems or the entire system itself. Functional sensors can detect levels of functionality (including levels of degraded performance) and time to failure of the elements of the system they are monitoring. Data gathered from multiple system sensors will be ‘overlapping’ in that they are drawn from the same process or system at the same time. Overlapping data requires specific consideration for subsequent inference – system states observed by all sensors contextualize the data of all others. This paper is a review of how overlapping sensor data is analyzed in a Bayesian framework, and form part of a sensor placement optimization process to maximize information. This is particularly useful in scenarios where sensors are expensive to install with various resource constraints (such as volume and weight) limiting their use. The paper also presents review of a method of measuring the information utility of various sensor placement arrangements in a Bayesian construct of both on-demand and time-based continuous systems. Prior information is used to simulate evidence sets, which are then used to simulate posterior distribution of reliability metrics of interest. Information utility is derived from these posterior distributions, and an expected information utility is then attributed to sensor placement. Finally, examples of applying the methodologies discussed will be presented.

Implementation of Traditional (S-R)-Based PM Method with Bayesian Inference

In order to perform Preventive Maintenance (PM), two approaches have evolved in the literature. The traditional approach is based on the use of statistical and reliability analysis of equipment failure. Under statistical-reliability (S-R)-based PM, the objective of achieving the minimum total cost is pursued by establishing fixed PM intervals, which are statistically optimal, at which to replac...

Inference for the Proportional Hazards Family under Progressive Type-II Censoring

In this paper, the well-known proportional hazards model which includes several well-known lifetime distributions such as exponential,Pareto, Lomax, Burr type XII, and so on is considered. With both Bayesian and non-Bayesian approaches , we consider the estimation of parameters of interest based on progressively Type-II right censored samples. The Bayes estimates are obtained based on symmetric...

Classical and Bayesian Inference in Two Parameter Exponential Distribution with Randomly Censored Data

Abstract. This paper deals with the classical and Bayesian estimation for two parameter exponential distribution having scale and location parameters with randomly censored data. The censoring time is also assumed to follow a two parameter exponential distribution with different scale but same location parameter. The main stress is on the location parameter in this paper. This parameter has not...

Design and evaluation of two distributed methods for sensors placement in Wireless Sensor Networks

Adequate coverage is one of the main problems for distributed wireless sensor networks and The effectiveness of that highly depends on the sensor deployment scheme. Given a finite number of sensors, optimizing the sensor deployment will provide sufficient sensor coverage and save power of sensors for movement to target location to adequate coverage. In this paper, we apply fuzzy logic system to...
