Constrained parameter estimation with applications to blending operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The classical least squares approach to parameter estimation for dynamic models ignores a priori information about the feasible values of the estimated parameters. But in many practical problems, such information is available in the form of upper and lower limits. In this paper, two alternative techniques are evaluated for this important class of constrained parameter estimation problems for dynamic systems. Simulation results for two blending problems illustrate that more accurate parameter estimates and better predictions can be obtained by using a quadratic programming approach. # 2000 IFAC.

ORE extraction and blending optimization model in poly- metallic open PIT mines by chance constrained one-sided goal programming
Determination a sequence of extracting ore is one of the most important problems in mine annual production scheduling. Production scheduling affects mining performance especially in a poly-metallic open pit mine with considering the imposed operational and physical constraints mandated by high levels of reliability in relation to the obtained actual results. One of the important operational con...

In this paper, a new five-parameter lifetime and reliability distribution named “the exponentiated Uniform-Pareto distribution (EU-PD),” has been suggested that it has a bathtub-shaped and inverse bathtub-shape for modeling lifetime data. This distribution has applications in economics, actuarial modelling, reliability modeling, lifetime and biological sciences. Firstly, the mathematical and st...
متن کاملConstrained Nonlinear Estimation of Road Friction Coefficient and Wheel Slip for Control of Anti-Lock Braking System
In designing the anti-lock braking system (ABS), some states and parameters of vehicle system such as road friction of coefficient and wheel slip should be estimated due to lack of cost effective and reliable sensors for direct measurement. Because of nonlinear characteristics of vehicle dynamics and tire forces, development of a nonlinear estimation algorithm is necessary. However, considerati...
متن کاملPhase II monitoring of multivariate simple linear profiles with estimated parameters
In some applications of statistical process monitoring, a quality characteristic can be characterized by linear regression relationships between several response variables and one explanatory variable, which is referred to as a “multivariate simple linear profile.” It is usually assumed that the process parameters are known in Phase II. However, in most applications, this assumption is viola...
