Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a multi-classification non-intrusive identification and detection method for an electrical signal based on naive Bayes, including an expert database module and a signal classification module. An electrical signal training sample of a known category is built based on historical and real-time aircraft signals.

P(yi) is separately calculated for each category, a conditional probability is calculated for each feature, and a classification result of a sample signal is obtained through statistic acquisition by using a probability comparison algorithm. A next status is predicted by using a time series prediction method after electrical signal data is classified and determined by using a naive Bayes algorithm.

Abstract: A computing system extracts test data and training data from an ordered data stream and predicts doubly robust outcomes for the ordered data stream based on a combination of treatments predicted based on controls of the ordered data stream and outcomes predicted based on the treatments and the controls of the ordered data stream. The computing system measures concept drift between the test data and the training data for the machine learning model. The concept drift is measured as an expectation of differences between the doubly robust outcomes for the ordered data stream and the doubly robust outcomes for the training data. The computing system selects retraining feature vectors from feature vectors of the ordered data stream, based on the concept drift being measured to satisfy a retraining condition and retrains the machine learning model using the retraining feature vectors.
