Abstract

Nonlinear identification using a novel neural network paradigm, namely eng-genes, is investigated. A set of MATLAB functions for the training and simulation of eng-genes based neural models are described. These functions are then used to investigate the effectiveness of the technique applied to two nonlinear dynamical systems. Experimental data from a pH neutralisation plant and simulation data from a physical model of a CSTR process are used to generate ‘eng-genes’ models. The results are compared with conventional neural models of these plants, showing that simple neural models with better performance and improved transparency are obtainable using the eng-genes paradigm.
