Adaptive Multi-Model Fault Diagnosis of Dynamic Systems for Motion Tracking by Annalena Daniels, Tommaso Benciolini, Dirk Wollherr, Marion Leibold

“…First, a regularization term in the probability estimation is suggested to penalize frequent parameter changes that signal possible overfitting. Second, an algorithm with a shifted data set is presented. The effectiveness of the algorithms is demonstrated on a motion tracking problem where the different fault hypotheses represent the macro-behavior of a moving object, and the real system switches between different modes. …”
