The associated degradation processes are usually dependent and exhibit some heterogeneity from unit to unit, which makes the multivariate degradation modeling and reliability evaluation more challenging. To this end, we propose a new multivariate gamma process model. This model introduces a multivariate random vector, whose joint distribution is constructed by marginal gamma distributions and a copula function, to describe the unit‐to‐unit variability and the dependence among PCs. Meanwhile, it does not require all PCs to be inspected at the same time points in contrast to the traditional copula‐based degradation models. In addition, two reliability evaluation methods are developed. Model parameters are estimated by the stochastic expectation maximization algorithm, and a three‐step procedure is provided to initialize this algorithm. Subsequently, numerical simulations are implemented to verify the proposed methods. Finally, two examples are provided for illustration, and it is shown that the proposed model and methods scale well to the degradation data with different numbers of PCs. What is more, comparisons with several benchmark models are performed, and the superiority of the proposed model is well demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":56088,"journal":{"name":"Quality and Reliability Engineering International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, traditional deep‐learning based methods for RUL prediction has been limited by interpretability and adjustment for hyperparameters in practical applications due to the intricate potential relations during the degradation process. To address these dilemmas, an improved multi‐strategy tuna swarm optimization‐assisted graph convolutional neural network (IMTSO‐GCN) is developed to achieve RUL prediction in this work. Specifically, mutual information is used to describe potential relationships among measured parameters so that they could be utilized in building edges for these parameters. Besides, considering that not all relational nodes will positively affect the RUL prediction and the inherent hyperparameters of the GCN are high‐dimensional. Inspired by “No Free Lunch (NFL)”, IMTSO is proposed to reduce the optimization cost of hyperparameters, in which cycle chaotic mapping is employed to achieve initialization of the population for improving the uniformity of the initial population distribution. Besides, a novel adaptive approach is proposed to enhance the exploration and exploitation of tuna swarm optimization (TSO). The CMAPSS dataset was used to validate the effectiveness and advancedness of IMTSO‐GCN, and the experimental results show that the R2 of the IMTSO‐GCN is greater than 0.99, RMSE is less than 3, the Score error is within 1.","PeriodicalId":56088,"journal":{"name":"Quality and Reliability Engineering International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the main objective of current work is to determine the effects of non‐normal process on the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) control chart. To achieve this goal, the sensitivity and reliability comparisons are made under the non‐normal process by comparing five robust M‐scale estimators, suggested in literature to modify the EWMA control limits for monitoring process mean and on the basis of percentile bootstrap estimator. The paper addresses the run length (RL) distribution of a robust EWMA control chart under the non‐normal process for which the exponential distribution is used as non‐normal process. The standard deviation of RL, out‐of‐control average run length (ARL), and shift detection probabilities are examined to assess the sensitivity and reliability of robust EWMA control charts for mean of monitoring process. The results of this research indicate that the classical EWMA control chart's performance is substantially impacted by the non‐normal distribution and the proposed EWMA control charts show higher sensitivity than classical one in terms of having smaller values of out‐of‐control ARLs. A real‐life example from the medical sciences field is provided the practical usage of the proposed control charts. The simulation analysis and practical example have shown that the suggested control charts are effective in quickly monitoring the out‐of‐control process.","PeriodicalId":56088,"journal":{"name":"Quality and Reliability Engineering International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However depending on such variables has drawbacks, as they may not be informative enough during extreme weather. While ubiquitous, textual sources of information are hardly included in prediction algorithms for time series, despite the relevant information they may contain. In this work, we propose to leverage openly accessible weather reports for electricity demand and meteorological time series prediction problems. Our experiments on French and British load data show that the considered textual sources allow to improve overall accuracy of the reference model, particularly during extreme weather events such as storms or abnormal temperatures. Additionally, we apply our approach to the problem of imputation of missing values in meteorological time series, and we show that our text‐based approach beats standard methods. Furthermore, the influence of words on the time series' predictions can be interpreted for the considered encoding schemes of the text, leading to a greater confidence in our results.","PeriodicalId":56088,"journal":{"name":"Quality and Reliability Engineering International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this, we begin by conducting an initial reliability, availability, maintainability, and dependability (RAMD) analysis on each component. Subsequently, a novel stochastic model is developed to analyze the steady‐state availability of the turbogenerator, employing a Markov birth‐death process. In this model, failure and repair rates are assumed to follow an exponential distribution and are statistically independent. To optimize the proposed stochastic model, we employ four population‐based meta‐heuristic approaches: the grey wolf optimization (GWO), the dragonfly algorithm (DA), the grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA), and the whale optimization algorithm (WOA). These algorithms are utilized to find the optimal solution by iteratively improving the availability of the turbogenerator. The performance of each algorithm is evaluated in terms of system availability and execution time, allowing us to identify the most efficient algorithm for this task. Based on the numerical results, it is evident that the WOA outperforms the GWO, GOA, and DA in terms of both system availability and execution time.","PeriodicalId":56088,"journal":{"name":"Quality and Reliability Engineering International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study focuses on three types of processes: fractional Brownian motion (fBm), fractional Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (fOU) process, and linear fractional stable motions (lfsm). The work involves a fast generation of extensive datasets for fBm and fOU to train the LSTM network on a large volume of data in a feasible time. The study analyses the accuracy of the LSTM network's Hurst parameter estimation regarding various performance measures like root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), mean relative error (MRE), and quantiles of the absolute and relative errors. It finds that LSTM outperforms the traditional statistical methods in the case of fBm and fOU processes; however, it has limited accuracy on lfsm processes. The research also delves into the implications of training length and valuation sequence length on the LSTM's performance. The methodology is applied to estimating the Hurst parameter in li‐ion battery degradation data and obtaining confidence bounds for the estimation. The study concludes that while deep learning methods show promise in parameter estimation of fractional processes, their effectiveness is contingent on the process type and the quality of training data.","PeriodicalId":56088,"journal":{"name":"Quality and Reliability Engineering International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It aims to augment the accuracy of failure probability prediction in structural reliability analysis based on the traditional maximum entropy method (MEM). First, the arctangent function is introduced to avoid the effects of truncation error and numerical overflow in the traditional MEM. The arctangent function can nonlinearly transform the structural performance function defined on the infinite interval into a transformed performance function defined on the bounded interval. Subsequently, the undetermined Lagrange multipliers in the maximum entropy probability density function (MEPDF) of the transformed performance function are obtained using IBWO at a swifter convergence speed with heightened convergence accuracy. Finally, the MEPDF of the transformed performance function can be obtained by combining the IBWO and AMEM, and the structural failure probability can be predicted. The analysis of the metro bogie frame as an engineering example reveals that compared with the traditional MEM using the genetic algorithm to solve the Lagrange multipliers, the proposed method diminishes the relative error in failure probability prediction from 20.51% to only 0.09%. This method significantly enhances the prediction accuracy of failure probability.","PeriodicalId":56088,"journal":{"name":"Quality and Reliability Engineering International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
