Identification of non-linear processes using reciprocal multiquadric functions

Abstract In this paper radial basis function (RBF) networks are used to model general non-linear discrete-time systems. In particular, reciprocal multiquadric functions are used as activation functions for the RBF networks. A stepwise regression algorithm based on orthogonalization and a series of statistical tests is employed for designing and training of the network. The identification method yields non-linear models, which are stable and linear in the model parameters. The advantages of the proposed method compared to other radial basis function methods and backpropagation neural networks are described. Finally, the effectiveness of the identification method is demonstrated by the identification of two non-linear chemical processes, a simulated continuous stirred tank reactor and an experimental pH neutralization process.
