Machine Learning is a widely adopted approach for solving data-driven problems in predictive maintenance. This paper compares calibration techniques for fuzzy scoring values of a hybrid classifier and proposes new techniques that demonstrate comparable performance, computational efficiency, and flexibility.
Machine Learning is currently a well-suited approach widely adopted for solving data-driven problems in predictive maintenance. Data-driven approaches can be used as the main building block in risk-based assessment and analysis tools for Transmission and Distribution System Operators in modern Smart Grids. For this purpose, a suitable Decision Support System should be able of providing not only early warnings, such as the detection of faults in real time, but even an accurate probability estimate of outages and failures. In other words, the performance of classification systems, at least in these cases, needs to be assessed even in terms of reliable outputting posterior probabilities, a really important feature that, in general, classifiers very often do not offer. In this paper are compared several state-of-the-art calibration techniques along with a set of simple new proposed techniques, with the aim of calibrating fuzzy scoring values of a custom-made evolutionary-cluster-based hybrid classifier trained on a set of a real-world dataset of faults collected within the power grid that feeds the city of Rome, Italy. Comparison results show that in real-world cases calibration techniques need to be assessed carefully depending on the scores distribution and the proposed techniques are a valid alternative to the ones existing in the technical literature in terms of calibration performance, computational efficiency and flexibility.
