This paper presents a direct nonlinear multivariable self-tuning PID controller using neural network which adapts to the changing parameters of the nonlinear multivariable system with noises and time delays. The nonlinear multivariable system is divided linear part and nonlinear part. The linear controller are used the self-tuning PID controller that can combine the simple structure of a PID controllers with the characteristics of a self-tuning controller, which can adapt to changes in the environment. The linear controller parameters are obtained by the recursive least square. And the nonlinear controller parameters are achieved the through the Back-propagation neural network. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, the computer simulation results are presented to adapt the nonlinear multivariable system with noises and time delays and with changed system parameter after a constant time. The proposed PID type nonlinear multivariable self-tuning method using neural network is effective compared with the conventional direct multivariable adaptive controller using neural network.

In genetic association studies with high-dimensional genomic data, regularization procedures based on penalized likelihood are often applied to identify genes or genetic regions associated with diseases or traits. A network-based regularization procedure can utilize biological network information (such as genetic pathways and signaling pathways in genetic association studies) with an outstanding selection performance over other regularization procedures such as lasso and elastic-net. However, network-based regularization has a limitation because cannot be applied to high-dimension genomic data with a group structure. In this article, we propose to combine data dimension reduction techniques such as principal component analysis and a partial least square into network-based regularization for the analysis of high-dimensional genomic data with a group structure. The selection performance of the proposed method was evaluated by extensive simulation studies. The proposed method was also applied to real DNA methylation data generated from Illumina Innium HumanMethylation27K BeadChip, where methylation beta values of around 20,000 CpG sites over 12,770 genes were compared between 123 ovarian cancer patients and 152 healthy controls. This analysis was also able to indicate a few cancer-related genes.

A model was designed to identify wood species between Pinus densiflora for. erecta Uyeki and Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc. using the near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in combination with principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). In the PCA using all of the spectra, Pinus densiflora for. erecta Uyeki and Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc. could not be classified. In the PCA using the spectrum that has been measured in sapwood, however, Pinus densiflora for. erecta Uyeki and Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc. could be identified. In particular, it was clearly classified by sapwood in radial section. And more, these two species could be perfectly identified using PLS-DA prediction model. The best performance in species identification was obtained when the second derivative spectra was used; the prediction accuracy was 100%. For prediction model, the $R_p{^2}$ value was 0.86 and the RMSEP was 0.38 in second derivative spectra. It was verified that the model designed by NIR spectroscopy with PLS-DA is suitable for species identification between Pinus densiflora for. erecta Uyeki and Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc.

The flash point is one of the most important physical properties used to determine the potential for fire and explosion hazards of flammable liquids. Despite the needs of the experimental flash point data for the design and construction of chemical plants, there is often a significant gap between the demands for the data and their availability. This study have built and compared two models of partial least squares(PLS) and support vector machine(SVM) to predict the experimental flash points of 893 organic compounds out of DIPPR 801. As the independent variables of the models, 65 functional groups were chosen based on the group contribution method that was oriented from the assumption that each fragment of a molecule contributes a certain amount to the value of its physical property, and the logarithm of molecular weight was added. The prediction errors calculated from cross-validation were employed to determine the optimal parameters of two models. And, an optimization technique should be used to get three parameters of SVM model. This work adopted particle swarm optimization that is one of heuristic optimization methods. As the selection of training data can affect the prediction performance, 100 data sets of randomly selected data were generated and tested. The PLS and SVM results of the average absolute errors for the whole data range from 13.86 K to 14.55 K and 7.44 K to 10.26 K, respectively, indicating that the predictive ability of the SVM is much superior than PLS.

This paper presents a method for determining optimal grayscale function processing(FP) morphological filters under the least square (LMS) error criterion. The optimal erosion and dilation filters with a grayscale structuring element(GSE) are determined by minimizing the mean square error (MSE) between the desired signal and the filter output. It is shown that convergence of the erosion and dilation filters can be achieved by a proper choice of the step size parameter of the LMS algorithm. In an attempt to determine optimal closing and opening filters, a matrix representation of both opening and closing with a basis matrix is proposed. With this representation, opening and closing are accomplished by a local matrix operation rather than cascade operations. The LMS and back-propagation algorithm are utilzed for obtaining the optimal basis matrix for closing and opening. Some results of optimal morphological filters applied to 2-D images are presented.

The purpose of this study was to develop a measurement model based on PLS (Partial least square) method for blood pressures. Measurement system for blood pressure signals consisted of pressure sensor, va interface and embedded module. A mercury sphygmomanometer was connected with the measurement system through 3-way stopcock and used as reference of blood pressures. The blood pressure signals of 20 subjects were measured and tests were repeated 5 times per each subject. Total of 100 data were divided into a calibration set and a prediction set. The PLS models were developed to determine the systolic and the diastolic blood pressures. The PLS models were evaluated by the standard methods of the British Hypertension Society (BHS) protocol and the American Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). The results of the PLS models were compared with those of MAA (maximum amplitude algorithm). The measured blood pressures with PLS method were highly correlated to those with a mercury sphygmomanometer in the systolic ($R^2=0.85$) and the diastolic blood pressure ($R^2=0.84$). The results showed that the PLS models were the effective tools for blood pressure measurements with high accuracy, and satisfied the standards of the BHS protocol and the AAMI.

It is important to accurately measure and control the relative humidity of humidified gas entering a PEM (polymer electrolyte membrane) fuel cell stack because the level of humidification strongly affects the performance and durability of the stack. Humidity measurement devices can be used to directly measure the relative humidity, but they cost much to be equipped and occupy spaces in a fuel cell system. We present soft sensors for predicting the relative humidity without actual humidity measuring devices. By combining FIR (finite impulse response) model with PLS (partial least square) and SVM (support vector machine) regression models, DPLS (dynamic PLS) and DSVM (dynamic SVM) soft sensors were developed to correctly estimate the relative humidity of humidified gases exiting a planar-type membrane humidifier. The DSVM soft sensor showed a better prediction performance than the DPLS one because it is able to capture nonlinear correlations between the relative humidity and the input data of the soft sensors. Without actual humidity sensors, the soft sensors presented in this work can be used to monitor and control the humidity in operation of PEM fuel cell systems.

The objective of this research was to develop model equations for measuring rice milling ratio by using visible / HIR spectroscopy. Twelve kinds of brown rice(n = 149) were milled to obtain various milling ratio ranged from 86% to 94%. Visible/NIR spectra were collected with a spectrophotometer with sample transport module. The reflectance and transmission spectra were measured in the range of 400~2, 500nm and 600~1, 400nm, respectively, with 2 nm intervals. Multiple linear regression(MLR), Partial least square (PLS), and Artificial neural network(ANN) were used to develop models. Model developed with reflectance spectra showed better prediction results then those with transmission spectra. The MLR model with six-wavelength obtained from first derivative spectra gave to the best results for measuring the rice milling ratio(SEP = 0.535, , $r^2$ = 0.980). The PLS model(SEP = 0.604, $r^2$= 0.976) and ANN model(SEP = 0.566, $r^2$= 0.978) also can be used to determine the rice milling ratio effectively.

E-homestudy refers to e-Learning after school. This concept has been introduced by Korean Government as a substitute for expensive private tutoring. The purpose of this research is to explore the perceptions and relationships among determinants affecting the attitude and satisfaction level in e-homestudy. Such factors as subjective norms, visibility, perceived usefulness, quality of contents, facilitating conditions, interactions are introduced into the model. The survey results show that the attitude and the self-directed teaming level influence the satisfaction level in e-homestudy; the subjective norms, visibility, and perceived usefulness are the major determinant affecting the attitude; the quality of contents as well as interactions have positive impact on the perceived usefulness.

This paper presents online identification algorithm for TSK fuzzy model. The proposed algorithm identify structure of premise part by using distance, and obtain the parameters of the piecewise linear function consisting consequent part by using recursive least square. Only input space was considered in Most researches on structure identification, but input and output space is considered in the proposed algorithm. By doing so, outliers are excluded in clustering effectively. The existing other algorithm has disadvantage that it is sensitive to noise by using data itself as cluster centers. The proposed algorithm is non-sensitive to noise not by using data itself as cluster centers. Model can be obtained through one pass and it is not needed to memorize many data in the proposed algorithm.
