A multi-model based soft sensor using evidence theory and Gaussianprocess regression
a multi-model soft sensor method based on Dempster-Shafer theory (DS) and Gaussian process regression (GPR) was proposed. Firstly
GPR was used to build the sub-models of the proposed soft sensor after clustering training dataset. Secondly
the initial weightings were designed based on membership functions and output posteriori probabilities of GPR based sub-models
respectively. And the initial weightings were fused using the combination rule of DS. Finally
the weighted sum of sub-models with the fused weightings was used to output predictive means and uncertainty. The proposed method was validated on simulation data of a penicillin fermentation process and industrial data of an erythromycin fermentation process. For comparisons
single model-based soft sensor and traditional multi-model soft sensor were also studied. Simulations showed that the proposed method had better predictive accuracy and lower predictive uncertainty.
