As Probabilistic Causal-effect Model-Based diagnosis is an active branch of Artificial Intelligent, in this paper, the feasibility of using probabilistic causal-effect model is studied and it is applied in artificial fish-swarm algorithm (AFSA) to classify the faults of mine hoist. In probabilistic causal-effect model, we employed probability function to nonlinearly map the data into a feature space, and with it, fault diagnosis is simplified into %K Mine hoist %K artificial fish-swarm algorithm %K Fault diagnosis %K Probabilistic causal-effect model %U http://ojs.academypublisher.com/index.php/jsw/article/view/620
