The Polybox Example using the Framework of Structured Hypothesis Tests

The POLYBOX example is a standard example within the AI-field of modelbased diagnosis research. Here, this example is discussed in the perspective of structured hypothesis tests (SHT). Even though the SHT framework was primarily developed for handling systems with noise, it has here been shown that it can perform very well in also noise-free systems. In the POLYBOX example, it manage to always give a complete and logically sound diagnosis statement, i.e. a complete and correct list of the possible fault modes. On the contrary, the established FDI framework (i.e. structured residuals) only manage to give a subset of the possible fault modes.
