Input and Output Variables

The user decides what information he or she will use as inputs to the decisionmaking process. And then the output is chosen based on what parameters or variable is to be controlled. As in the case of the above example of control of oxygen ratio through the control of the compressor voltage, the fuzzy controller inputs are the error e k), and change of error ce k). The output from the controller is used to control the compressor voltage u k) = 

The error is the difference between fuel cell output y = Xq2 and set point value, for example, Xo2 = 2. The two inputs and single output of the controller are given as 

Aw(fc) is the inferred change of output and p is the gain factor of the controller. Single or multiple inputs can be used and single or multiple outputs can be chosen depending on the control problem.

Introduction The model-based contfol strategy that has been most widely applied in the process industries is model predictive control (MFC). It is a general method that is especially well-suited for difficult multiinput, multioutput (MIMO) control problems where there are significant interactions between the manipulated inputs and the controlled outputs. Unlike other model-based control strategies, MFC can easily accommodate inequahty constraints on input and output variables such as upper and lower limits or rate-of-change limits. 

It is a general control strategy for MIMO processes with inequality constraints on input and output variables. 

Inequality constraints on the input and output variables can be included as an option. 

For each of the infimal decision units, °oe has to consider several groups of input and output variables (Fig. 10). Among the inputs are... 

Sometimes more meaningful features may be obtained by considering the behavior of both input and output variables together in the analysis. 

KBSs can be viewed with increasing levels of commitment to problem solving. At the level described in the previous section, a KBS accomplishes symbolic-symbolic mappings between input and output variables analogous to the numeric-symbolic mappings of approaches such as neural networks and multivariate statistical interpreters. For each problem-solving task, the particular numeric-symbolic or symbolic-symbolic approach is based on the task and the knowledge and data available. 

If, for instance, variables r3 and u4 are selected as design variables, then Figure 1.11 shows one possible order of solution of the set of equations. Different types of arrows are used to distinguish between input and output variables, and the variables selected as design variables are enclosed in a double circle. 

We ll learn how to identify input and output variables, how to distinguish between manipulated variables, disturbances, measured variables and so forth. Do not worry about remembering all the terms here. We ll introduce them properly later. 

As mentioned above, the random character of the input and output variables are of importance with regard to the calibration model and its estimation by calculus of regression. Because of the different character of the analytical quantity x in the calibration step (no random variables but fixed variables which are selected deliberately) and in the evaluation step (random variables like the measured values), the closed loop of Fig. 6.1 does not correctly describe the situation. Instead of this, a linear progress as shown in Fig. 6.2 takes place. 

Thus the computation record of a computation contains the successive listings of the values of the variables - it is the listing of computation states minus the name of the instruction executed at tine i. The test added computation record contains this list of values plus the formal record of tests applied. If test T is applied at step i to, say, values 1 and 5, the test added computation record contains for step i the formal statement "T(l,5)", identifying the particular test applied and the values to which it is applied. The computation record or test added computation record relative to some subset of variables considers only values of those variables and tests applied to those variables. It is useful when comparing programs with different program variables but the same input and output variables. 

Harris et al. also employed a less-known CCK procedure, which Meehl and Yonce (1996) named SQUABAC, but the authors referred to as the Parabolic Function Method. Two SQUABAC analyses were performed, one with the PCL-R total score as the input variable and criminal recidivism as the output variable, and another with adult criminal history and recidivism as input and output variables, respectively. Recidivism history was paired with the two potential taxon indicators because it is a conceptually related but distinct variable. It is expected to be a valid indicator of the taxon, but it is not redundant with other indicators, thus nuisance correlations should not be a problem. 

Costs associated with the material flows (the input and output variables), such as the costs of purchased materials. 

The input and output variables in a computer module are fixed so that you cannot arbitrarily introduce an output and generate an input, as can be done with an equation-based code. 

Two new variables are defined as the departure of the input and output variables from their steady state values. 

Kowalska and Urbanski [82] applied an ANN to compute calibration models for two XRF gauges. The performance of the ANN calibration was compared with that of a PLS model. It was found that the ANN calibration model exhibited better prediction ability in cases when the relationship between input and output variables was nonlinear. 

One of the main problems in modelling a photochemical process by neural networks is the correct choice of input and output variables to accurately describe the process. In the particular application presented here, the... 

In the design problem, the dilution rate D = q/V is generally unknown and all other input and output variables are known. In simulation, usually D is known and we want to find the output numerically from the steady-state equations. For this we can use the dynamic model to simulate the dynamic behavior of the system output. Specifically, in this section we use the model for simulation purposes to find the static and dynamic output characteristics, i.e., static and dynamic bifurcation diagrams, as well as dynamic time traces. 

It can be easily argued that the choice of the process model is crucial to determine the nature and the complexity of the optimization problem. Several models have been proposed in the literature, ranging from simple state-space linear models to complex nonlinear mappings. In the case where a linear model is adopted, the objective function to be minimized is quadratic in the input and output variables thus, the optimization problem (5.2), (5.4) admits analytical solutions. On the other hand, when nonlinear models are used, the optimization problem is not trivial, and thus, in general, only suboptimal solutions can be found moreover, the analysis of the closed-loop main properties (e.g., stability and robustness) becomes more challenging. 

In experimental research, each studied case is generally characterized by the measurement of x (x values) and y (y values). Each chain of x and each chain of y represents a statistical selection because these chains must be extracted from a very large number of possibilities (tvhich can be defined as populations). However, for simplification purposes in the example above (Table 5.2), we have limited the input and output variables to only 5 selections. To begin the analysis, the researcher has to answer to this first question what values must be used for x (and corresponding y) when we start analysing of the identification of the coefficients by a regression function Because the normal equation system (5.9) requires the same number of x and y values, we can observe that the data from Table 5.2 cannot be used as presented for this purpose. To prepare these data for the mentioned scope, we observe that, for each proposed x value (x = 13.5 g/1, x=20 g/1, x = 27 g/1, X = 34 g/1, X = 41 g/1), several measurements are available these values can be summed into one by means of the corresponding mean values. So, for each type of X data, we use a mean value, where, for example, i = 5 for the first case (proposed X = 13.5 g/1), i = 3 for the third case, etc. The same procedure will be applied for y where, for example, i = 4 for the first case, i = 6 for the second case, etc. 

Analyze input and output variables to identify the critical few.
