Abstract:In order to improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis in analog circuits, aimed at the instability structure and error transferring of the existing directed acyclic graph support vector machine (DAGSVM), a novel approach based on fault distinguish degree to construct DAGSVM is proposed. According to the fault information acquired from all of the testable points, this paper defines the concept of fault distinguish degree, and takes this as a basis to optimize the topology of the DAGSVM to eliminate the inherent instability of DAGSVM structure. For this reason, there is a stable and quite good accuracy of diagnosis. The experimental results show that this method improves obviously diagnosis accuracy compared with "1 vs 1",SVM, and traditional DAGSVM, and simultaneously the method can be used for reference in analog circuit fault diagnosis.
