Fault diagnosis method based on wavelet packet-energy entropy and fuzzy kernel extreme learning machine

Aiming at connatural limitations of extreme learning machine in practice, a new fault diagnosis method based on wavelet packet-energy entropy and fuzzy kernel extreme learning machine is proposed. On one hand, the presented method can extract the more efficient features using the wavelet packet-energy entropy method, and on the other hand, the sample fuzzy membership degree matrix U, weight matrix W which is used to describe the sample imbalance, and the kernel function are introduced to construct the fuzzy kernel extreme learning machine model with high accuracy and reliability. The experimental results of rolling bearing and check valve are obtained and analyzed in MATLAB 2010b. The results show that the proposed fuzzy kernel extreme learning machine method can obtain fairly or slightly better classification performance than the traditional extreme learning machine, kernel extreme learning machine, back propagation, support vector machine, and fuzzy support vector machine.
