Abstract
We consider a clustering-based construction of a soft sensor with adaptive model structure and parameters and with the time factor taken into account by the example of an industrial reactive process. We propose to improve an earlier-developed adaptive soft sensor operation algorithm using a moving window and clustering by updating the model on the basis of the alternating conditional expectation algorithm with the time factor taken into account. The proposed adaptive soft sensor is shown to be advantageous in accuracy over the earlier-developed adaptation algorithm neglecting the time factor and over an adaptive soft sensor based on a neural network.
