Abstract

By projecting the data into a lower-dimensional space that accurately characterizes the state of the process, dimensionality reduction techniques can greatly simplify and improve process monitoring procedures. Principal component analysis (PCA) is such a dimensionality reduction technique. It produces a lower-dimensional representation in a way that preserves the correlation structure between the process variables, and is optimal in terms of capturing the variability in the data.
