executed using 10-fold cross-validation repeated 3 times.
The ML algorithms Support Vector Machine (SVM), Ar-

Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBOOST) were used (the
chosen parameters are available on https://gitlab.com/hdlr/
iecon2019-bearingfaultdetection) and the main metric of eval-
uation considered for the evaluation of results was Kappa due
to the high class imbalance. This metric compares the observed
accuracy with the expected accuracy (accuracy that a random
classifier would obtain) and its result varies between -1 and 1,
with 1 being the best result possible. Fig. 3. Average Kappa obtained for all FSs and an analysis period of 20 ms.

the sampling frequency or the more extended the analysis
period, the better the results achieved (excellent classifications
are achieved with several FSs and algorithms). Generally, for
lower sampling frequencies/analysis periods, the best result is
obtained by one FS and algorithm (with a sampling frequency
of 0.8 kHz and an analysis period of 20 ms it was the SVM
algorithm, 30 ms the XGBOOST algorithm and 40 ms the
ANN algorithm).
With a sampling frequency of 1 kHz and an analysis period
of 20 ms, the best classification was obtained with the SVM
algorithm. With an analysis period of 30 ms, the classification

7 (with multiple algorithms), and perfect classifications are
verified with several FSs and algorithms for higher analysis
periods. When the sampling frequency is of 2 kHz and the
analysis period is 20 ms, the best result was obtained with FS
5 and the RF algorithm and, for greater analysis periods, the
classification is perfect with several FSs and algorithms.
From a sampling frequency of 5 kHz the classification
obtains excellent results with several FSs independently of
the analysis period. With an analysis period of 20 ms the
classification is perfect with several FSs and algorithms and,
for more extended analysis periods, perfect classifications are
registered with all FSs. With a sampling frequency of 10 kHz

Comparing the average kappa obtained with each FS with
an analysis period of 20 ms (one cycle of the currents) using
RF as a reference algorithm, it is possible to observe in Fig. 7
that FSs 1 and 2 present a relatively low performance when
compared with the rest, showing a relative low predictive
power. The rest of the FSs show promising results with very
slight differences between them and practically perfect (or

Similarly to what was done for the vibration analysis,
analysis periods of more than 20 ms were also considered
and defined as 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 ms.
Evaluating in detail the performance of FS 1 and FS 2 with
the variation of the sampling frequency and the analysis period
in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, it is verified that FS 1 has no promising
results in any situation (when compared to the others), where
FS 2 demonstrates a greater potential especially when used
with an analysis period of 40 ms or more and from a sampling
frequency of about 2 kHz, and from an analysis period of 80

By observing the variations of the kappa obtained according
