Various methods can be used for nonlinear, dynamic-system identification and Gaussian process (GP) model is a relatively recent one. The GP model is an example of a probabilistic, nonparametric model with uncertainty predictions. It possesses several interesting features like model predictions contain the measure of confidence. Further, the model has a small number of training parameters, a fac...

in general, the objective of distillation control is to maintain the desired products quality. in this paper, the performances of different one point control strategies for an aromatic distillation column have been compared through dynamic simulation. these methods are: a) composition control using measured composition directly. this method sufferes from large sampling delay of measuring device...
