  • 用贝叶斯分层模型+因果分析,捕捉每台泵的独特退化特征
  • 发现低风险泵的波动性对退化有1.515倍正向影响,高风险组效应弱400倍
  • 适合关注设备个体差异与智能运维的工程管理者

基础设施退化给资产管理带来挑战,现有方法多依赖群体平均模型,忽略设备个体差异。本文提出融合贝叶斯分层生存建模与因果发现的新框架,识别驱动泵设备异质退化速率的运行模式。首先利用GPU加速的No-U-Turn采样(NUTS)估算每台泵的随机效应 $u_i$,相比CPU实现3–5倍提速;随后采用DirectLiNGAM分析22个工程时序特征与退化率之间的因果关系,按 $u_i > 0$(快速退化)与 $u_i \leq 0$(缓慢退化)分层。基于112台泵、92,861条观测数据(持续650天),发现负向随机效应组的因果效应比正向组大400倍,且标准差(std)对低风险设备退化率有显著正向影响(+1.515)。通过NonlinearLiNGAM验证线性假设,并证明GPU加速具备实际可扩展性。研究结果表明,不同运行状态需采取根本不同的管理策略,推动预测性维护从群体平均迈向异质性感知决策。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Infrastructure deterioration poses significant challenges for asset management, yet existing approaches rely on population-averaged models that overlook equipment-specific heterogeneity. We present a novel framework that combines Bayesian hierarchical hazard modeling with causal discovery to identify operational patterns that drive heterogeneous deterioration rates in pump equipment. Our approach first estimates pump-specific random effects $u_i$ using GPU-accelerated No-U-Turn Sampling (NUTS), achieving 3--5$\times$ speedup over CPU implementations. We then employ DirectLiNGAM to discover causal relationships between 22 engineered time-series features and deterioration rates, stratified by positive ($u_i > 0$, faster deterioration) versus negative ($u_i \leq 0$, slower deterioration) random effects. Analyzing 112 pumps with 92,861 observations over 650 days, we uncover striking heterogeneity: the negative group exhibits causal effects 400$\times$ larger than the positive group, with standard deviation (std) showing a strong positive causal effect ($+1.515$) on deterioration rates in low-risk equipment. We validate linearity assumptions through NonlinearLiNGAM comparison and demonstrate practical scalability through GPU acceleration. Our findings enable targeted maintenance strategies by revealing that different operational regimes require fundamentally distinct management approaches, advancing predictive maintenance from population-averaged to heterogeneity-aware decision making.
