Dynamic process monitoring using multiscale PCA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Conventional principal component analysis (PCA) is ideally suited for monitoring steady state processes based on the assumption that the measurements are time independent (uncorrelated) and normally distributed. Typically, most of the processes are in dynamic state, with various events occurring such as abrupt process changes, low drifts, bad measurements due to sensor failures, human errors, etc. Data from these processes are not only cross-correlated, but also auto-correlated. Applying conventional PCA directly to dynamic systems can raise false alarms, making it insensitive to detect and discriminate different kinds of events. Every event is associated with a certain frequency band according to its power spectrum. Wavelets are emerging tools to decompose a signal into various frequency bands providing simultaneous time-frequency domain analysis. We combine the potential of wavelets with the congeniality of PCA to monitor dynamic multivariate processes at different scales (frequencies). This multiscale monitoring strategy extends the suitability of PCA to statistically monitor processes based on auto-correlated measurements. Additionally, the resulting PCA models are more sensitive in detecting changes in a process. These ideas are illustrated by a suitable example.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
