Abstract
Nonlinearity may cause a model deviation problem, and hence, it is a challenging problem for process monitoring. To handle this issue, local kernel principal component analysis was proposed, and it achieved a satisfactory performance in static process monitoring. For a dynamic process, the expectation value of each variable changes over time, and hence, it cannot be replaced with a constant value. As such, the local data structure in the local kernel principal component analysis is wrong, which causes the model deviation problem. In this paper, we propose a new two-step dynamic local kernel principal component analysis, which extracts the static components in the process data and then analyzes them by local kernel principal component analysis. As such, the two-step dynamic local kernel principal component analysis can handle the nonlinearity and the dynamic features simultaneously.
