Accurate fault detection and isolation (FDI) relies on the information collection. This can be done by the optimal test selection which can also reduce the life cost of engineering systems. In recent years, some researchers have made lots of achievement on solving the test selection design (TSD) problem. However, few of them concerned a method to deal with the ambiguity problem caused by the multiple fault modes. In this article, a data-driven-based method for test selection is proposed to build an accurate TSD model. Then, we propose a copula function on cross validation-based Kullback–Leibler divergence (CCVKL) method to construct an accurate constraint model. An improved discrete binary particle swarm optimization (IBPSO) algorithm is used to obtain the optimal test design solution. The proposed method also in comparison to three other existing methods are performed in an electrical circuit.
