3.2.4.2 Simple Distance <strong>Fault</strong> Diagnosis Classifier<br />

To eliminate the independence assumption <strong>and</strong> improve fault diagnosis<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mance, a simple distance fault diagnosis classifier, which does not require<br />

integration of the probability distributions, was developed <strong>and</strong> validated.<br />

This method is briefly illustrated in Figure 3-5 using a two-dimensional case.<br />

Based on the predefined fault points (i.e., F<br />

1<br />

<strong>and</strong> F<br />

2<br />

) corresponding to the fault quadrants<br />

(I <strong>and</strong> II), the distance ratio of the smallest distance to the second smallest distance (as to
