Pedomodels have become a popular topic in soil science and environmentalresearch. They are predictive functions of certain soil properties based on other easily orcheaply measured properties. The common method for fitting pedomodels is to use classicalregression analysis, based on the assumptions of data crispness and deterministic relationsamong variables. In modeling natural systems such as s...

The present study proposes a new radial basis function which is derived based on an idea of mapping data into a high dimensional feature space which is known as Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS) and then performing Radial Basis Function (RBF) network in the feature space. Orthogonal Least Squares (OLS) method is employed to select a suitable set of centers (regressors) from a large set of...

Accurate multidimensional ground reaction forces and moments (GRF/Ms) can be predicted from marker-based motion capture using Partial Least Squares (PLS) supervised learning. In this study, the correlations between known and predicted GRF/Ms are compared depending on whether the PLS model is trained using the discrete inputs of sex, height and mass. All three variables were found to be accounte...

A new forward regression model identification algorithm is introduced. The derived model parameters, in each forward regression step, are initially estimated via orthogonal least squares (OLS) (using the modified Gram-Schmidt procedure), followed by being tuned with a new gradient descent learning algorithm based on the basis pursuit that minimizes the norm of the parameter estimate vector. The...
