Abstract Gasification represents a potential technology for the conversion of biomass into usable energy. The influence main gasification parameters, i.e. type used and its composition, as well composition outlet gas, were studied by multivariate statistical analysis based on principal component (PCA) partial least square (PLS) regression models in order to identify correlations between them co...

This paper uses half-hourly electricity demand data in South Australia as an empirical study of nonparametric modeling and forecasting methods for prediction from half-hour ahead to one year ahead. A notable feature of the univariate time series of electricity demand is the presence of both intraweek and intraday seasonalities. An intraday seasonal cycle is apparent from the similarity of the d...

In recent years, many algorithms based on kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) have been proposed including kernel principal component regression (KPCR). KPCR can be viewed as a non-linearization of principal component regression (PCR) which uses the ordinary least squares (OLS) for estimating its regression coefficients. We use PCR to dispose the negative effects of multicollinearity in ...

We consider the problem of outlier rejection in single subspace learning. Classical approaches work with a direct representation of the subspace, and are thus efficient when the subspace dimension is small. Our approach works with a dual representation of the subspace and hence aims to find its orthogonal complement; as such it is particularly suitable for high-dimensional subspaces. We pose th...
