Sensor data, collected routinely from manufacturing plants, provide the first level of information in securing an optimal and safe operation. Nevertheless, these numerical observations are seldom consistent, as they are corrupted by measurement errors as well as by random and gross errors regardless of how well the instrumentation system is designed and operated. The use of erroneous data may compromise plant safety and also lead to off-specification production.
