[0109] 4) Data cleaning for abnormal data;

[0110] Step three, further remove and smooth the abnormal wheel profile data by using local weighted regression. In order to improve the calculation efficiency, only the first wheel profile data and the second wheel profile data are processed by local weighted regression. As a non-parametric learning method, the core idea of local weighted regression is to assign different weights to the local data points near each prediction point, and fit the local model by weighted linear least squares method, so as to capture the local characteristics of the data.
