Abstract

We propose a method for engine configuration diagnostics based on clustering of engine parameters. The method is tested using simulation of PID controller parameters generated and selected using a genetic algorithm. The parameter analysis is based on a state-of-the art method using multivariate extreme value statistics for outlier detection. This method is modified using a variational mixture model which automatically defines a number of Gaussian kernels and replaces a Gaussian mixture model.
