Clinical data are inevitably incomplete, and most knowledge discovery algorithms lack the capability to contend with missing data. Flow-graph confers some distinct advantages in data mining and knowledge discovery. However, flow-graph methodology is not able to comprehensively solve the incomplete data problem. This paper proposes a flow-graph network approach for extracting knowledge from incomplete medical data. The concept of incomplete-medical-diagnosis-flow-graph (IMDFG) was defined. To evaluate the diagnosis rules within theIMDFG, the computing method for the certainty factor and coverage factor are presented. Moreover, the application of flow-graph network can be useful for extracting comprehensibility knowledge from the incomplete medical data. In an illustrative medical example, the clinical diagnosis rules are induced and interpreted in accordance to the generated flow graphs.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a maintenance decision support system (DSS) framework using in-service lubricant data for fault diagnosis. The DSS reveals embedded patterns in the data (knowledge discovery) and automatically quantifies the influence of lubricant parameters on the unhealthy state of the machine using alternative classifiers. The classifiers are compared for robustness from which decision-makers select an appropriate classifier given a specific lubricant data set.Design/methodology/approachThe DSS embeds a framework integrating cluster and principal component analysis, for feature extraction, and eight classifiers among them extreme gradient boosting (XGB), random forest (RF), decision trees (DT) and logistic regression (LR). A qualitative and quantitative criterion is developed in conjunction with practitioners for comparing the classifier models.FindingsThe results show the importance of embedded knowledge, explored via a knowledge discovery approach. Moreover, the efficacy of the embedded knowledge on maintenance DSS is emphasized. Importantly, the proposed framework is demonstrated as plausible for decision support due to its high accuracy and consideration of practitioners needs.Practical implicationsThe proposed framework will potentially assist maintenance managers in accurately exploiting lubricant data for maintenance DSS, while offering insights with reduced time and errors.Originality/valueAdvances in lubricant-based intelligent approach for fault diagnosis is seldom utilized in practice, however, may be incorporated in the information management systems offering high predictive accuracy. The classification models' comparison approach, will inevitably assist the industry in selecting amongst divergent models' for DSS.

Gearbox vibration signal contains a wealth of the gear status information, used wavelet packet transform (WPT) refinement of the partial lock ability to extract the fault signs attribute information in the vibration signal. Extracted signs attribute information as the input of the flow graph (FG), generated decision rules to achieve the purpose of fault diagnosis. FG was a knowledge representation and data mining method to mine the intrinsic link between the data and improve the clarity of the potential knowledge. The results confirmed that used of WPT feature extraction and FG data mining method can accurate detection the gear fault.

In order to improve the intuition, efficiency, and accuracy of fault diagnosis of gear box, a novel fault diagnosis method based on flow graphs and normal naive Bayesian classifier is proposed in this paper. In the proposed method, flow graphs are utilized to represent the relationship between fault symptoms and gear conditions. The algorithm of layer reduction is employed to eliminate the redundant and irrelevant attribute layers to obtain the minimal flow graph for reducing the number of input nodes in normal naive Bayesian classifier. The normal naive Bayesian classifier is constructed according to the minimal flow graph to obtain classification results. To verify the proposed method, an experiment is carried out to apply this method to a gear box rig. The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method combining the advantages of flow graphs and normal naive Bayesian classifier provides a new way to design high-performance models for fault diagnosis of gear box.
