Bayesian-Based Predictive Analytics for Manufacturing Performance Metrics in the Era of Industry 4.0

The research in this dissertation proposes Bayesian-based predictive analytics for modeling and prediction of the manufacturing metrics such as cutting force, tool life and reliability in the technological era of Industry 4.0. Bayesian statistics is a probabilistic method, which can quantify and minimize manufacturing process uncertainties. The Bayesian method combines previous knowledge about the manufacturing models with experimental data to predict the manufacturing metrics.
