An application of decision trees method for fault diagnosis of induction motors
Decision tree is one of the most effective and widely used methods for building
classification model. Researchers from various disciplines such as statistics, machine learning,
pattern recognition, and data mining have considered the decision tree method as an effective
solution to their field problems. In this paper, an application of decision tree method to classify the faults of induction motors is proposed. The original data from experiment is dealt with feature calculation to get the useful information as attributes. These data are then assigned the classes which are based on our experience before becoming data inputs for decision tree. The total 9 classes are defined. An implementation of decision tree written in Matlab is used for these data
Machine condition prognosis based on regression trees and one-step-ahead prediction
Predicting degradation of working conditions of machinery and trending of fault propagation before they reach the alarm or failure threshold is extremely importance in industry to fully utilize the machine production capacity. This paper proposes a method to predict future conditions of machines based on one-step-ahead prediction of time-series forecasting techniques and regression trees. In this study, the embedding dimension is firstly estimated in order to determine the necessary available
observations for predicting the next value in the future. This value is subsequently utilized for
regression tree predictor. Real trending data of low methane compressor acquired from condition
monitoring routine are employed for evaluating the proposed method. The results indicate that the
proposed method offers a potential for machine condition prognosi

Fault diagnosis of induction motor based on decision trees and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference
This paper presents a fault diagnosis method based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) in combination with decision trees. Classification and regression tree (CART) which is one of the decision tree methods is used as a feature selection procedure to select pertinent features from data set. The crisp rules obtained from the decision tree are then converted to fuzzy if-then rules that are employed to identify the structure of ANFIS classifier. The hybrid of back-propagation and least squares algorithm are utilized to tune the parameters of the membership functions. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, the data sets obtained from vibration signals and current signals of the induction motors are used. The results indicate that the CART-ANFIS model has potential for fault diagnosis of induction motors
