Abstract: [This abstract is based on the authors' abstract.] The Hotelling T² control chart widely used in multivariate process monitoring can effectively detect a change in a system, but cannot diagnose the root causes of the change. The MTY approach improves diagnosability by decomposing the T² statistic, but is computationally intensive and has limited capability in root-cause diagnosis when the dimension of variables is high. A causation-based T² decomposition method is proposed that integrates the causal relationships revealed by a Bayesian network with the MTY approach. Simulation studies reveal that the proposed method reduces the computational complexity and enhances the diagnosability when compared to the MTY approach.
