Abstract

The problem of failure detection and identification in stochastic linear timeinvariant systems is approached as a Min-Max Hypothesis Testing problem. A statistical test is proposed and a Min-Max testing technique is followed, leading to a linear transformation of the residual vector, which results in a new statistical decoupling of failure influences. The resulting problem is to detect a change of the mean in a gaussian vector sequence and to estimate the random time of failure occurrence.
