Their ability to learn nonlinear relationships is widely \nappreciated and is utilized in many different types of applications; \nmodelling of dynamic systems, signal processing, and control system design \nbeing some of the most common. The theory of neural computing has matured \nconsiderably over the last decade and many problems of neural network \ndesign, training and evaluation have been resolved. This book provides a \ncomprehensive introduction to the most popular class of neural network, \nthe multilayer perceptron, and shows how it can be used for system \nidentification and control. It aims to provide the reader with a \nsufficient theoretical background to understand the characteristics of \ndifferent methods, to be aware of the pit-falls and to make proper \ndecisions in all situations. The subjects treated include: \nSystem identification: multilayer perceptrons; how to conduct informative \nexperiments; model structure selection; training methods; model \nvalidation; pruning algorithms. \nControl: direct inverse, internal model, feedforward, optimal and \npredictive control; feedback linearization and \ninstantaneous-linearization-based controllers. \nCase studies: prediction of sunspot activity; modelling of a hydraulic \nactuator; control of a pneumatic servomechanism; water-level control in a \nconical tank. \nThe book is very application-oriented and gives detailed and pragmatic \nrecommendations that guide the user through the plethora of methods \nsuggested in the literature. Furthermore, it attempts to introduce sound \nworking procedures that can lead to efficient neural network solutions. \nThis will make the book invaluable to the practitioner and as a textbook \nin courses with a significant hands-on component.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-02-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781852332273\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-0453-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 246\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378435637388,"sku":"9781852332273","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781852332273.jpg?v=1775706306","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781852332273","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
