A multi-model approach for soft sensor development based on feature extraction using weighted kernel fisher criterion简

Multi-model approach can significantly improve the prediction performance of soft sensors in the proc- ess with multiple operational conditions. However, traditional clustering algorithms may result in overlapping phe- nomenon in subclasses, so that edge classes and outliers cannot be effectively dealt with and the modeling result is not satisfactory. In order to solve these problems, a new feature extraction method based on weighted kernel Fisher criterion is presented to improve the clustering accuracy, in which feature mapping is adopted to bring the edge classes and outliers closer to other normal subclasses. Furthermore, the classified data are used to develop a multiple model based on support vector machine. The proposed method is applied to a bisphenol A production process for prediction of the quality index. The simulation results demonstrate its ability in improving the data classification and the prediction performance of the soft sensor.
