Blow Hole Defect Analysis in Die CastingRamesh Raja
This document summarizes an analysis of blow hole defects in die casting. The objectives were to minimize defects using design of experiments. Process parameters like metal temperature, die temperature, and die holding time were identified as factors affecting blow hole defects. Experiments were conducted using a Taguchi design with three factors at three levels. Analysis of variance showed die temperature was the most significant factor. Optimization found the best parameters were a metal temperature of 700°C, die temperature of 300°C, and die holding time of 75 seconds. This was predicted to increase casting density by 4.13% and reduce blow holes.

1) The document discusses different metrics for optimizing predictive models, noting that squared error can emphasize outliers while lift charts are better. It recommends not optimizing AUC alone.
2) Global search algorithms may be needed if the model and error metric are not simple. The goal of the project and what to optimize should be considered.
3) Case studies are presented showing how optimizing for the problem goal, like flagging account outliers for fraud detection, led to better outcomes than a general classification approach.
Computational techniques in computational intelligence often require massive calculations and are executed on supercomputers. Fuzzy logic, a main principle of computational intelligence, can model complex real-life processes even with incomplete or ignorant data, unlike artificial intelligence which requires exact knowledge. It has applications in areas like control, image processing, and decision making. Neural networks, like biological ones, are composed of cells that process information, axons that transmit signals, and synapses that control signals, enabling distributed information processing and learning from experience. Evolutionary computation is based on natural selection and enables new problem solving methods like optimization through evolution strategies and algorithms. Learning theory examines how cognitive, emotional and environmental effects are processed to acquire and change knowledge based on experience. Prob
1) The document discusses how to properly optimize predictive models, noting that squared error is convenient for computers but not clients, and AUC should never be directly optimized. 2) It recommends using lift charts and customizing the optimization metric to the specific goals and needs of each project. 3) Higher-level considerations include brainstorming the overall goals and priorities of a project, and selecting projects based on their potential ROI, costs, and other factors.

Statistical Learning and Model Selection module 2.pptxnagarajan740445
Statistical learning theory was introduced in the 1960s as a problem of function estimation from data. In the 1990s, new learning algorithms like support vector machines were proposed based on the developed theory, making statistical learning theory a tool for both theoretical analysis and creating practical algorithms. Cross-validation techniques like k-fold and leave-one-out cross-validation help estimate a model's predictive performance and avoid overfitting by splitting data into training and test sets. The goal is to find the right balance between bias and variance to minimize prediction error on new data.
Operational research (OR) is a discipline that deals with applying advanced analytical methods to help make better decisions. OR uses scientific methods and especially mathematical modeling to study complex problems. It is considered a subfield of applied mathematics. Some key applications of OR include scheduling, facility planning, planning and forecasting, credit scoring, marketing, and defense planning. OR takes a systems approach, uses interdisciplinary teams, and aims to optimize objectives subject to constraints through quantitative modeling and analysis.

Solution
Most people view the world as consisting of a large number of alternatives. Futures research
evolved as a way of examining the alternative futures and identifying the most probable.
Forecasting is designed to help decision making and planning in the present.
Forecasts empower people because their use implies that we can modify variables now to alter
(or be prepared for) the future. A prediction is an invitation to introduce change into a system.
There are several assumptions about forecasting:
1. There is no way to state what the future will be with complete certainty. Regardless of the
methods that we use there will always be an element of uncertainty until the forecast horizon has
come to pass.
2. There will always be blind spots in forecasts. We cannot, for example, forecast completely
new technologies for which there are no existing paradigms.
3. Providing forecasts to policy-makers will help them formulate social policy. The new social
policy, in turn, will affect the future, thus changing the accuracy of the forecast.
Many scholars have proposed a variety of ways to categorize forecasting methodologies. The
following classification is a modification of the schema developed by Gordon over two decades
ago:
Genius forecasting - This method is based on a combination of intuition, insight, and luck.
Psychics and crystal ball readers are the most extreme case of genius forecasting. Their forecasts
are based exclusively on intuition. Science fiction writers have sometimes described new
technologies with uncanny accuracy.
There are many examples where men and women have been remarkable successful at predicting
the future. There are also many examples of wrong forecasts. The weakness in genius forecasting
is that its impossible to recognize a good forecast until the forecast has come to pass.
Some psychic individuals are capable of producing consistently accurate forecasts. Mainstream
science generally ignores this fact because the implications are simply to difficult to accept. Our
current understanding of reality is not adequate to explain this phenomena.
Trend extrapolation - These methods examine trends and cycles in historical data, and then use
mathematical techniques to extrapolate to the future. The assumption of all these techniques is
that the forces responsible for creating the past, will continue to operate in the future. This is
often a valid assumption when forecasting short term horizons, but it falls short when creating
medium and long term forecasts. The further out we attempt to forecast, the less certain we
become of the forecast.
The stability of the environment is the key factor in determining whether tren.
This document discusses foundational concepts for effective incident investigations. It argues that not everyone can investigate incidents well just by following basic procedures and training. Effective investigations require understanding key concepts like using appropriate terminology and models. The presentation contrasts egocentric models that focus on failure and human error with ergonomic models that examine all factors contributing to an interaction. The goal of investigation is to change the future by identifying controls, not blame. Effective investigations account for human, equipment and environmental capabilities to find engineering solutions rather than just fixing failures.

Analysis and Statistics
A key aspect of the work of the BI/Analytics consultant is analysis. Analysis can be defined as
how the data is turned into information. Information is the outcome when the data is analyzed
correctly.
Rigorous analysis is having the best chance of creating the sharpest picture of what the data
might reveal and is the product of proper application of statistics and experimental design.
Statistics encompasses a complex and detailed series of disciplines. Statistical concepts are
foundational to all descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytic applications. However, the
application of simple descriptive statistical calculations yields a great deal of usable information
for transformational decision-making. The value of the information is amplified when using these
same simple statistics within the context of a well-designed experiment.
This module is not designed to teach one statistic. It is designed to place statistical work within
the appropriate context so that it can be leveraged most effectively in driving organizational
performance..
An important review of the basic knowledge for work with descriptive and inferential statistics.
The Basic Elements of Experimental Design
Analytic tools also can provide an enhanced ability to conduct experiments. More than just
allowing analysis of output of activities or processes, experiments can be performed on
processes and the output of processes. Experimenting on processes is a movement beyond
the traditional r.
Md simulation and stochastic simulationAbdulAhad358
Stochastic simulation involves modeling systems with random variables. It generates random values for insertion into models to understand probable outcomes. Molecular dynamic simulation computationally simulates atom and molecule movements over time based on forces. It provides time-dependent behavior analysis of biological molecules to study structure, dynamics, and thermodynamics without harming environments. Both methods help understand complex systems through numerous replications under varying scenarios.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

to Asset Management
Derryn Knife
2. Survival Analysis
• Survival analysis is the broad set of
tools and techniques to determine the
“time to an event”.
• Essentially answers questions about
how long something will last.
• Asset managers can use survival
analysis to answer questions about
stocking strategies, maintenance
strategies since we can understand
how long a piece of equipment will
function.
3. Application of Survival Analysis to AM
Typical Question: “When will my item fail?”
Solution: Use Non-Parametric estimates.
Complication: Failures only so high…
Non-parametric cannot be used extrapolate beyond
highest failure.
Solution: Use Parametric estimation
Complication: What about the
thickness/temperature/other single factor that
affects this?
Simple distributions cannot account for single factor
impacts.
4. Application of Survival Analysis to AM
Solution: User Accelerated Life / Accelerated Failure Time /
Proportional Hazards Model.
Complication: But some of these vary over time?
Simple PH/ALT/AFT models cannot account for time-varying
coefficients.
Solution: Use Time-Varying Proportional Hazards (or ALT, AFT).
Complication: But how do I know when the time varying
covariates change…
Time-Varying models cannot predict when the varying
coefficients will change. Great to answer questions like “what is
at most risk?” But not when.
Solution:…
Machine Learning used in Medicine
5. What is machine learning?
Supervised
• Takes a known answer.
• Algorithm attempts to ‘regress’
onto the known answer with the
data given.
• Linear regression is a simple
version of supervised learning.
• Applied anywhere where a
predicted value is needed.
Unsupervised
• No known output, just the data.
• Used to learn representations of
the data.
• Representations can be used to
reduce the size of data.
• Also used to reduce varied sizes
to a common size.
• Applied for outlier detection,
recommendations, clustering.
6. What is Deep Learning?
• Deep learning is a subset of machine
learning. Much of the excitement
about AI focuses on deep learning.
• Conceptually it aims to replicate the
structure of a neuron in the human
brain. It takes multiple inputs, and
‘activates’ at particular a threshold.
• Notable since it can continue to
consume larger data sets where other
ML algorithms reach a plateau.
• Many different and flexible
‘architectures’. Deep Learning vs Other ML (Alom et al.)
7. Conventional Approach to RUL – Regression
With a regression approach the Machine Learning Algorithm attempts to
learn one number. Usually from just time series data, not disparate types.
The problem with this approach is that not many decisions can practically
be made. It cannot answer “what is probability of failing?”
100
hours
8. Next usual approach – Logistic Regresssion
Alternately, one can regress on whether the event will or will not happen
within a given window of time.
Although this does give you the risk it is not good for long term forecasts
since it cannot predict where within a longer window.
10%
(chance within
100 hours)
9. Recent Progress in AI
Recent progress in AI has seen Deep Learning algorithms output not just a single
value, but a distribution. By doing this, these new approaches overcome many of
the short falls of traditional ML and combines it with the power of survival
analysis.
Predicting a failure distribution allows one to understand risk over time. This
allows for optimal decision making for intervention.
10. Recent Progress in AI – An Example
• Has been applied in the medical
literature.
• A particularly notable example is
Shu et al. They use feature
extraction on x-rays and vital
sign time series data.
• They then concatenate these
reductions with demographic
data. This vector is then fed into
a neural network to predict risk
(a distribution).
