Exploratory Analysis of Metallurgical Process Data with Neural Networks and Related Methods

Front Cover
Elsevier, Apr 19, 2002 - Science - 386 pages
This volume is concerned with the analysis and interpretation of multivariate measurements commonly found in the mineral and metallurgical industries, with the emphasis on the use of neural networks.

The book is primarily aimed at the practicing metallurgist or process engineer, and a considerable part of it is of necessity devoted to the basic theory which is introduced as briefly as possible within the large scope of the field. Also, although the book focuses on neural networks, they cannot be divorced from their statistical framework and this is discussed in length. The book is therefore a blend of basic theory and some of the most recent advances in the practical application of neural networks.

For example, if the input data consist of M-dimensional vectors of the form x = {x\,xi, . . .xM}, then each Kohonen element will have M weight values, which can be denoted by w, = {Wi\,Wii,...WiM}.
