is equivalent to the<br />

fault diagnosis rules (see Table 1-1), which are expressed as positive <strong>and</strong> negative<br />

changes in residuals, so that each fault type corresponds to a unique quadrant of a multidimensional<br />

residual space. To decide which fault is the most probable is equivalent to<br />

identifying which quadrant the current measurement belongs to. Combined with the<br />

normal operating ellipse, coordinate axes <strong>for</strong>m the fault diagnosis boundary (see Figure<br />

There are many good classifiers in the literature to h<strong>and</strong>le finite classes<br />

(especially two classes) with regular patterns, which can be parameterized using<br />

covariance matrix <strong>and</strong> mean vector. However, <strong>for</strong> this problem, boundaries of each class<br />
