In previous studies, it was often conducted with a single indicator, such as kurtosis, etc., to guide the automatic selection. However, in some cases, it is difficult for that to fully depict and balance the fault characters from impulsiveness and cyclostationarity of the repetitive transients. To solve this problem, a novel negentropy-induced multi-objective optimized wavelet filter is proposed in this paper. The wavelet parameters are determined by a grey wolf optimizer with two independent objective functions i.e., maximizing the negentropy of squared envelope and squared envelope spectrum to capture impulsiveness and cyclostationarity, respectively. Subsequently, the average negentropy is utilized in identifying the IFB from the obtained Pareto set, which are non-dominated by other solutions to balance the impulsive and cyclostationary features and eliminate the background noise. Two cases of real vibration signals with slight bearing faults are applied in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed methodology, and the results demonstrate its effectiveness over some fast and optimal filtering methods. In addition, its stability in tracking the IFB is also tested by a case of condition monitoring data sets.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20071845","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,1]],"date-time":"2020-04-01T03:44:13Z","timestamp":1585712653000},"page":"1845","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Multi-objective Informative Frequency Band Selection Based on Negentropy-induced Grey Wolf Optimizer for Fault Diagnosis of Rolling Element Bearings"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Xiaohui","family":"Gu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanical Behavior and System Safety of Traffic Engineering Structures, Shijiazhuang Tiedao University, Shijiazhuang 050043, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shaopu","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanical Behavior and System Safety of Traffic Engineering Structures, Shijiazhuang Tiedao University, Shijiazhuang 050043, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7114-0797","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yongqiang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanical Behavior and System Safety of Traffic Engineering Structures, Shijiazhuang Tiedao University, Shijiazhuang 050043, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rujiang","family":"Hao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanical Behavior and System Safety of Traffic Engineering Structures, Shijiazhuang Tiedao University, Shijiazhuang 050043, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zechao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanical Behavior and System Safety of Traffic Engineering Structures, Shijiazhuang Tiedao University, Shijiazhuang 050043, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Yi, C., Wang, D., Fan, W., Tsui, K.L., and Lin, J.
