StandardPrincipal component analysis (PCA)PCA summarizes the variation in a correlated multiattribute data to a set of uncorrelated components, a linear combination of the original variables.Pattern recognition [100], dimension reduction [101], feature extraction [102], process monitoring [103].
Partial least squares (PLS)PLS can find the fundamental relations between two data matrices, and latent variables are needed to model the covariance structure in these spaces.Power load forecasting [104], performance evaluation of power companies [105], etc.
Linear discriminant analysis (LDA)LDA finds a linear combination of features that characterizes or separates two or more classes of objects or events.Face recognition [106], feature selection for power system security assessment [107].
Subspace identification methods (SIM)SIMs are powerful tools for identifying the state space process model directly from data.Power oscillatory state space model [108], power system stability analysis [109], etc.

Time-varyingRecursive PCARPCA is a generalization of PCA to time series; the eigenvector and eigenvalue matrices are updated with every new data sample.Voltage stability moitoring [110], power system fault location detections [111].
Dynamic PCADPCA includes dynamic behavior in the PCA model by applying a time lag shift method while retaining the simplicity of model construction.Industrial monitoring [112, 113], dynamic economic evaluation of electrical vehicles [114].

NonlinearKernel PCA/PLSKPCA is first to map the input space into a feature space via nonlinear mapping and then to compute the PCs in that feature space.Power equipment assessment [115], real-time fault diagnosis [116], power system monitoring [117], etc.
Neural networksNeural networks are computational models that can be used to estimate or approximate unknown nonlinear functions.Dimension reduction [118, 119], voltage stability assessment [120], fault location detection [121], etc.

Non-GaussianIndependent component analysis (ICA)ICA decomposes multivariate signals into additive subcomponents which are independent non-Gaussian signals.Fault detection [122], power quality monitoring [123], and estimation [124].
Gaussian mixture models (GMM)GMM describe an industrial process by local linear models using finite GMM and Bayesian inference strategy.Power flow modeling [125], power load modeling [126].
Support vector data description (SVDD)SVDD defines a boundary around normal samples with a small number of support vectors.Classification, process monitoring [127], oscillation modes detection [128], etc.
