Effectiveness analysis of the kulback’s information measure in the technological objects monitoring

Abstract

The technological objects’ state monitoring is focused on the following purposes: to ensure the production processes effective functioning and to improve the quality and competitiveness of the products. The aim of the proposed scientific approach is the improvement of the known statistical methods used for production processes monitoring. It allows to minimize the first and the second kind errors when evaluating the technological objects’ states. The usage of Kulback’s information measure allows to compress large amounts of data without losing their validity. This approach mostly satisfies the requirements for the implementation of known methods of technological objects’ state monitoring. These requirements are the following: processing of large amounts of current information for setting the parameters of the monitoring and control system; real time decision-making using the monitoring results on the production process’ state; timely detection of possible precritical conditions of the technological process, which can be associated with great economic damage or even catastrophic consequences.
