However, it is difficult to replace EPMs effectively because the aging conditions of EPMs depend on the operating environments, and thus, a guideline is typically not be suitable for replacing EPMs at the most timely moment. In this study, we propose a method of classification for the detection of an aging effect to facilitate the timely replacement of EPMs. We employ support vector data description to segregate data of \u201caged\u201d and \u201cnot-yet-aged\u201d equipment by analyzing the subtle differences in normalized electrical signals resulting from aging. Based on the before and after-replacement data that was obtained from experimental studies that were conducted on EPMs, we confirmed that the proposed method was capable of classifying machines based on exhibited aging effects with adequate accuracy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym9120290","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,24]],"date-time":"2017-11-24T11:29:33Z","timestamp":1511522973000},"page":"290","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Aging Detection of Electrical Point Machines Based on Support Vector Data Description"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6470-3341","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaewon","family":"Sa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Convergence Software, Korea University, Sejong Campus, Sejong City 30019, Korea"}]},{"given":"Younchang","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Convergence Software, Korea University, Sejong Campus, Sejong City 30019, Korea"}]},{"given":"Yongwha","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Convergence Software, Korea University, Sejong Campus, Sejong City 30019, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2077-4850","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonguk","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Convergence Software, Korea University, Sejong Campus, Sejong City 30019, Korea"}]},{"given":"Daihee","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Convergence Software, Korea University, Sejong Campus, Sejong City 30019, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2501","DOI":"10.1109\/TIE.2016.2522944","article-title":"Diagnosis and Prognosis for Complicated Industrial Systems-Part 1","volume":"63","author":"Yin","year":"2016","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
