Stress and Temperature Monitoring of Bridge Structures Based on Data Fusion Analysis †
Abstract
1. Introduction
2. Data Processing and Fusion
2.1. Outlier Processing
- Independent variables must have a significant effect on the dependent variable and present a close linear correlation.
- The linear correlation between independent and dependent variables must be genuine rather than merely formal.
- Independent variables must have a certain degree of exclusivity, meaning the degree of correlation between independent variables must not be higher than that between the independent variables and the dependent variable.
- Independent variables must have complete statistical data, and their predicted values should be easily determined.
- Step 1: The characteristic quantification, data standardization, and smoothing of the extreme or of the standardized data are necessary to avoid calculation errors caused by large differences in values. According to Equation (2), if {} is close to , there are abnormal data.
- Step 2: The gross error criteria is set according to the amount of data n, probability distribution, or skewness and peak , and the number of abnormal data j.
- Step 3: Given the significance level , the two kinds of errors of discarding the true and taking the false in the gross error discrimination are identified. Generally, = 0.05 or 0.01 is used for a small number of samples. In large samples, the required confidence probability is p = 1 − .
- Step 4: The statistics of the selected gross error are obtained to assess the influence of abnormal data.
- Step 5: The critical value of the test is determined to determine the critical value of the statistics under .
- Step 6: It is inferred whether there is a gross error according to the rejection field (Re) of the inspection. If there is a gross error, the corresponding abnormal data are eliminated. Otherwise, it is considered that there is no gross error, and the suspicious data are retained.
