In complex industrial processes, the technique of fault diagnosis has been playing an increasingly considerable role in ensuring the safety of life and property. Unfortunately, the process data of complex industrial processes have the features of high dimension. Feature extraction from high-dimensional data is promising to coping with the fault data with high dimension. Recently, one of manifold learning methods named discriminant locality preserving projection achieves excellent performance in feature extraction. However, the performance of discriminant locality preserving projection (DLPP) is subject to the problem of matrix decomposition in the denominator of the objection function caused by the small sample size (SSS) issue. To overcome this limitation, novel DLPP integrated with Monte Carlo sampling is proposed to enhance the performance of feature extraction through dimensionality reduction. In the proposed MC-DLPP, Monte Carlo sampling is first utilized to generate fault samples for each fault type. With the aid of the virtually generated fault samples, the rank of the matrix in the denominator of the objection function of DLPP increases, thus well addressing the SSS problem. The Softmax classifier is used for fault diagnosis. To test the performance of the improved DLPP-based fault diagnosis, case studies using the Tennessee Eastman process are carried out. Simulation results confirm the presented MC-DLPP achieves superior accuracy in fault diagnosis.
