Fault Diagnosis Approach for Rotating Machinery Based on Feature Importance Ranking and Selection by Zong Yuan, Taotao Zhou, Jie Liu, Changhe Zhang, Yong Liu

“…In this paper, a novel fault diagnosis approach for rotating machinery based on feature importance ranking and selection is proposed. Firstly, a two-step principle is proposed to select the most suitable WBF for the vibration signal, based on which an optimized WPD (OWPD) method is proposed to decompose the vibration signal and extract the fault information in the frequency domain. …”
