Analog Circuit Fault Diagnosis Based on Levenberg-Marquardt Learning Algorithm

Abstract

This paper presents a fault diagnosis method of BP neural network based on Levenberg-Marquardt learning algorithm. First, the use of principal component analysis to reduce the dimension of the fault sample reduced BP neural network input variables. Then use the Levenberg-Marquardt learning algorithm to adjust the network weights. Levenberg-Marquardt learning algorithm is combination of the Gauss - Newton algorithm and steepest descent algorithm. It has Gauss - Newton algorithm of local convergence and gradient descent algorithm of the global characteristic. So it has higher convergence speed, reduces the training time, to a certain extent, overcomes the problem of traditional BP network convergence speed slow and easy to fall into local minimum point. Simulation results demonstrate the correctness and accuracy of this fault diagnosis method.
