The entropy-based feature extraction is a promising tool for extracting weak features from rotating machinery. However, the existing research has paid little attention to the state transition process, which brings the problem of accuracy and comprehensiveness in complexity estimation. To address this issue, this paper proposes link dispersion entropy (LDE) based on the theory of the Markov chain for weak feature extraction. By calculating the transition probability of symbol patterns, the LDE can extract the fault information contained in the transition, enabling it to capture the early weak fault. Furthermore, LDE is extended to a multiscale analysis by combining it with the coarse-gaining process for comprehensive feature extraction, termed multiscale LDE (MLDE). Finally, three simulated signals and two different experimental data are utilized to verify the advantage of MLDE in extracting the weak fault features. Results demonstrate that MLDE has the best performance in fault diagnosis of rotating machinery compared with the existing five methods, namely sample entropy, fuzzy entropy, permutation entropy, dispersion entropy and symbolic dynamic entropy.
