Automate Feature Extraction Using MATLAB Code from the App

Generate MATLAB® code in the app that reproduces the computations for your selected features, processed variables, and ranking

The Diagnostic Feature Designer app lets you work with ensemble data interactively and experiment with various processing and feature options. Once you have determined which features work best, you can generate code that reproduces your computations. This code allows you to apply the same computations to new or expanded ensemble data. You can use this code directly, or modify the code to suit your application. For more information on code generation in the app, see Automatic Feature Extraction Using Generated MATLAB Code.

Topics

Automatic Feature Extraction Using Generated MATLAB Code

Diagnostic Feature Designer can generate code that reproduces your interactive computations and allows you to automate feature extraction on similar input data. You select among your features, computed variables, and ranking tables to specify what the code includes.

Generate a MATLAB Function in Diagnostic Feature Designer

This example shows how to extract features from measurement data in the app and generate a MATLAB function that reproduces the calculations for those features.

Apply Generated MATLAB Function to Expanded Data Set

This example shows how use a reduced data set to develop features in Diagnostic Feature Designer, generate code to automate the feature computations you select, and then use that code with the full-member data set to compute a feature set for model training.

Data Ensembles for Condition Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance

Algorithm design with Predictive Maintenance Toolbox™ uses data organized in ensembles. You can generate ensemble data from a Simulink® model or create ensembles from existing data stored on disk.
