利用非相關成份分析(uncorrelated component analysis)來解決混合的製程訊號,並且結合質群演算法(particle swarm optimization)來達到最佳化的目的。在混合的製程訊號分離效果中,利用非相關成份分析可以有效的分離自我相關序列(autoregressive series)、製程平均值偏移,以及白色噪音(Gaussian noises)的混合製程訊號。此外在製程監控上,配合指數加權移動平均管制圖(EWMA control chart)可以有效的降低偵測平均值偏移的平均連串長度(average run length)。
The uncorrelated component analysis (UCA) model is applied to solving the mixed process signal separation problem. In order to seek optimum demixing matrix of UCA model, particle swarm optimization (PSO) which is one of the latest developed population-based optimization methods is adopted. In the context of signal separation, the presented method could find efficiently and reliably the optimal estimate of the demixing matrix for the mixed process signals, such as autoregressive (AR) series, step change in process mean, and Gaussian noises. Furthermore, the proposed method can be applied to EWMA control chart in process monitoring to detect small shift in process mean with shorter out-of-control average run length (ARL).
