A Robust Performance Degradation Modeling Approach Based on Student’s t-HMM and Nuisance Attribute Projection

Performance degradation assessment (PDA) is of great significance to ensure safety and availability of mechanical equipment. As an important issue of PDA, the robustness of the trained model directly affects the assessment efficiency and restricts its application in practice. This paper proposes a r...
