System identification from the experimental data plays a vital role for model based controller design. Derivation of process model from first principles is often difficult due to its complexity. The first stage in the development of any control and monitoring system is the identification and modeling of the system. Each model is developed within the context of a specific control problem. Thus, the need for a general system identification framework is warranted. The proposed framework should be able to adapt and emphasize different properties based on the control objective and the nature of the behavior of the system. Therefore, system identification has been a valuable tool in identifying the model of the system based on the input and output data for the design of the controller. The present work is concerned with the identification of transfer function models using statistical model identification, process reaction curve method, ARX model, genetic algorithm and modeling using neural network and fuzzy logic for interacting and non interacting tank process. The identification technique and modeling used is prone to parameter change & disturbance. The proposed methods are used for identifying the mathematical model and intelligent model of interacting and non interacting process from the real time experimental data.
In this paper, block-oriented systems with linear parts based on Laguerre functions is used to
approximation of a cone crusher dynamics. Adaptive recursive least squares algorithm is used to
identification of Laguerre model. Various structures of Hammerstein, Wiener, Hammerstein-Wiener models
are tested and the MATLAB simulation results are compared. The mean square error is used for models
validation.It has been found that Hammerstein-Wiener with orthonormal basis functions improves the
quality of approximation plant dynamics. The mean square error for this model is 11% on average
throughout the considered range of the external disturbances amplitude. The analysis also showed that
Wiener model cannot provide sufficient approximation accuracy of the cone crusher dynamics. During the
process it is unstable due to the high sensitivity to disturbances on the output.The Hammerstein-Wiener
model will be used to the design nonlinear model predictive control application.

Model reference controller is considering as one of the most useful controller to specific performance of systems where the desired output is produced for a given input. This system used the difference between the outputs of the plant and the desired model by comparing them to produce the signals of the control. This paper focus on design a model reference controller (MRC) combined with (type-1 and interval type-2) fuzzy control scheme for single input-single output (SISO) systems under uncertainty and external disturbance. The model reference controller is designed firstly without fuzzy scheme based on an optimal desired model and Lyapunov stability theory. Then a (type-1 and Interval type-2) fuzzy controller Takagi-Sugeno type is combine with the suggested MRC in order to enhance the performer of it, the common parts between the two fuzzy systems such as: fuzzifier, inference engine, fuzzy rule-base and defuzzifier are illustrated. In this paper the proposed controller is applied to controla (SISO) inverted pendulum sustem and the Matlab R2015 software is used to carry out two simulation cases for the overall controlled scheme. The obtained results for the two cases show that the proposed MRC with both fuzzy control schemes have acceptable performance, but it have better performance with the interval type-2 fuzzy scheme.
Data-driven adaptive predictive control for an activated sludge processjournalBEEI
Data-driven control requires no information of the mathematical model of the controlled process. This paper proposes the direct identification of controller parameters of activated sludge process. This class of data-driven control calculates the predictive controller parameters directly using subspace identification technique. By updating input-output data using receding window mechanism, the adaptive strategy can be achieved. The robustness test and stability analysis of direct adaptive model predictive control are discussed to realize the effectiveness of this adaptive control scheme. The applicability of the controller algorithm to adapt into varying kinetic parameters and operating conditions is evaluated. Simulation results show that by a proper and effective excitation of direct identification of controller parameters, the convergence and stability of the implicit predictive model can be achieved.

Analysis and Modeling of PID and MRAC Controllers for a Quadruple Tank System...dbpublications
Multivariable systems exhibit complex dynamics because of the interactions between input variables and output variables. In this paper an approach to design auto tuned decentralized PI controller using ideal decoupler and adaptive techniques for controlling a class of multivariable process with a transmission zero. By using decoupler, the MIMO system is transformed into two SISO systems. The controller parameters were adjusted using the Model Reference Adaptive reference Control.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF CONVENTIONAL PID CONTROLLER AND FUZZY CONTROLLER WIT...IJITCA Journal
All the real systems exhibits non-linear nature,conventional controllers are not always able to provide good and accurate results. Fuzzy Logic Control is used to obtain better response. A model for simulation is designed and all the assumptions are made before the development of the model. An attempt has been made to analyze the efficiency of a fuzzy controller over a conventional PID controller for a three tank level control system using fuzzification & defuzzification methods and their responses are compared. Analysis is done through computer simulation using Matlab/Simulink toolbox. This study shows that the application of Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) gives the best response with triangular membership function and centroid defuzzification method.
Adaptive Signal Processing has been playing a key role confining itself not just to the field of communications but also had spread into the fields of embedded systems, biological instruments, astronomy, image processing and many other fields. Adaptive filters are slowly replacing traditional filters in many areas. The development of new techniques and trends of adaptation algorithms has provided us with a broader sense of understanding the adaptation phenomena. In this paper some basic algorithms such as Least-Mean-Squares, Leaky-LMS, Normalized-LMS, and Recursive-Least-Squares algorithms have been studied and the convergence of these algorithms has been studied. The study convergence of the algorithms gives us a better picture of how fast the algorithms converge to optimum values. This is an issue of consideration in real-time signal processing as the signal processor implementing these kinds of algorithms has to be converging fast enough to the optimum values to save time and memory.

Efficient decentralized iterative learning tracker for unknown sampled data i...ISA Interchange
In this paper, an efficient decentralized iterative learning tracker is proposed to improve the dynamic performance of the unknown controllable and observable sampled-data interconnected large-scale state-delay system, which consists of NN multi-input multi-output (MIMO) subsystems, with the closed-loop decoupling property. The off-line observer/Kalman filter identification (OKID) method is used to obtain the decentralized linear models for subsystems in the interconnected large-scale system. In order to get over the effect of modeling error on the identified linear model of each subsystem, an improved observer with the high-gain property based on the digital redesign approach is developed to replace the observer identified by OKID. Then, the iterative learning control (ILC) scheme is integrated with the high-gain tracker design for the decentralized models. To significantly reduce the iterative learning epochs, a digital-redesign linear quadratic digital tracker with the high-gain property is proposed as the initial control input of ILC. The high-gain property controllers can suppress uncertain errors such as modeling errors, nonlinear perturbations, and external disturbances (Guo et al., 2000) [18]. Thus, the system output can quickly and accurately track the desired reference in one short time interval after all drastically-changing points of the specified reference input with the closed-loop decoupling property.
Neural Network-Based Actuator Fault Diagnosis for a Non-Linear Multi-Tank SystemISA Interchange
The paper is devoted to the problem of the robust actuator fault diagnosis of the dynamic non-linear systems. In the proposed method, it is assumed that the diagnosed system can be modelled by the recurrent neural network, which can be transformed into the linear parameter varying form. Such a system description allows developing the designing scheme of the robust unknown input observer within H1 framework for a class of non-linear systems. The proposed approach is designed in such a way that a prescribed disturbance attenuation level is achieved with respect to the actuator fault estimation error, while guaranteeing the convergence of the observer. The application of the robust unknown input observer enables actuator fault estimation, which allows applying the developed approach to the fault tolerant control tasks.

Metamodel-based Optimization of a PID Controller Parameters for a Coupled-tan...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Liquid flow and level control are essential requirements in various industries, such as paper
manufacturing, petrochemical industries, waste management, and others. Controlling the liquids flow and
levels in such industries is challenging due to the existence of nonlinearity and modeling uncertainties of
the plants. This paper presents a method to control the liquid level in a second tank of a coupled-tank plant
through variable manipulation of a water pump in the first tank. The optimum controller parameters of this
plant are calculated using radial basis function neural network metamodel. A time-varying nonlinear
dynamic model is developed and the corresponding linearized perturbation models are derived from the
nonlinear model. The performance of the developed optimized controller using metamodeling is compared
with the original large space design. In addition, linearized perturbation models are derived from the
nonlinear dynamic model with time-varying parameters.

In this paper, dynamic decoupling control design strategies for the MIMO Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) process characterised by nonlinearities, loop interaction and the potentially unstable dynamics, are presented. Simulations of the behavior of the closed loop decoupled system are performed in Matlab/Simulink. Software transformation technique is proposed to build a real-time module of the developed in Matlab/Simulink environment software modules and to transfer it to the real-time environment of TwinCAT 3.1 software of the Beckhoff PLC. The simulation results from the investigations done in Simulink and TwinCAT 3.1 software platforms have shown the suitability and the potentials of the method for design of the decoupling controller and of merging the Matlab/Simulink control function blocks into the TwinCAT 3.1 function blocks in real-time. The merits derived from such integration imply that the existing software and its components can be re-used. The paper contributes to implementation of the industrial requirements for portability and interoperability of the PLC software.

In engineering education, the combination with theoretical education and practical education is an
essential problem. The taught knowledge can be quickly forgotten without an experimental application. In
addition, the theoretical knowledge’s cannot be easily associated applications by students when they start
working in industry. To eliminate these problems, a number of education tools have been developed in
engineering education. This article presents a modelling, simulation and practice study of a newly designed
liquid level training set developed for the control engineering students to simulate, examine and analyze
theoretically and experimentally the controllers widely used in the control of many industrial processes.
The newly designed training set combines two control structures, which are a computer-based control and
a digital signal processing-based control. The set displays the results related to experiments in real time as

Control chart pattern recognition using k mica clustering and neural networksISA Interchange
Automatic recognition of abnormal patterns in control charts has seen increasing demands nowadays in manufacturing processes. This paper presents a novel hybrid intelligent method (HIM) for recognition of the common types of control chart pattern (CCP). The proposed method includes two main modules: a clustering module and a classifier module. In the clustering module, the input data is first clustered by a new technique. This technique is a suitable combination of the modified imperialist competitive algorithm (MICA) and the K-means algorithm. Then the Euclidean distance of each pattern is computed from the determined clusters. The classifier module determines the membership of the patterns using the computed distance. In this module, several neural networks, such as the multilayer perceptron, probabilistic neural networks, and the radial basis function neural networks, are investigated. Using the experimental study, we choose the best classifier in order to recognize the CCPs. Simulation results show that a high recognition accuracy, about 99.65%, is achieved.

INFORMATION THEORY BASED ANALYSIS FOR UNDERSTANDING THE REGULATION OF HLA GEN...ijistjournal
Considering information entropy (IE), HLA surface expression (SE) regulation phenomenon is considered as information propagation channel with an amount of distortion. HLA gene SE is considered as sink regulated by the inducible transcription factors (TFs) (source). Previous work with a certain number of bin size, IEs for source and receiver is computed and computation of mutual information characterizes the dependencies of HLA gene SE on some certain TFs in different cells types of hematopoietic system under the condition of leukemia. Though in recent time information theory is utilized for different biological knowledge generation and different rules are available in those specific domains of biomedical areas; however, no such attempt is made regarding gene expression regulation, hence no such rule is available. In this work, IE calculation with varying bin size considering the number of bins is approximately half of the sample size of an attribute also confirms the previous inferences.

System identification from the experimental data plays a vital role for model based controller design. Derivation of process model from first principles is often difficult due to its complexity. The first stage in the development of any control and monitoring system is the identification and modeling of the system. Each model is developed within the context of a specific control problem. Thus, the need for a general system identification framework is warranted. The proposed framework should be able to adapt and emphasize different properties based on the control objective and the nature of the behavior of the system. Therefore, system identification has been a valuable tool in identifying the model of the system based on the input and output data for the design of the controller. The present work is concerned with the identification of transfer function models using statistical model identification, process reaction curve method, ARX model, genetic algorithm and modeling using neural network and fuzzy logic for interacting and non interacting tank process. The identification technique and modeling used is prone to parameter change & disturbance. The proposed methods are used for identifying the mathematical model and intelligent model of interacting and non interacting process from the real time experimental data.

Implementation of Radon Transformation for Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)ijistjournal
Radon Transformation is generally used to construct optical image (like CT image) from the projection data in biomedical imaging. In this paper, the concept of Radon Transformation is implemented to reconstruct Electrical Impedance Topographic Image (conductivity or resistivity distribution) of a circular subject. A parallel resistance model of a subject is proposed for Electrical Impedance Topography(EIT) or Magnetic Induction Tomography(MIT). A circular subject with embedded circular objects is segmented into equal width slices from different angles. For each angle, Conductance and Conductivity of each slice is calculated and stored in an array. A back projection method is used to generate a two-dimensional image from one-dimensional projections. As a back projection method, Inverse Radon Transformation is applied on the calculated conductance and conductivity to reconstruct two dimensional images. These images are compared to the target image. In the time of image reconstruction, different filters are used and these images are compared with each other and target image.

BER Performance of MPSK and MQAM in 2x2 Almouti MIMO Systemsijistjournal
Almouti published the error performance of the 2x2 space-time transmit diversity scheme using BPSK. One of the key techniques employed for correcting such errors is the Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) because of its efficiency in power and bandwidth.. In this paper we explore the error performance of the 2x2 MIMO system using the Almouti space-time codes for higher order PSK and M-ary QAM. MATLAB was used to simulate the system; assuming slow fading Rayleigh channel and additive white Gaussian noise. The simulated performance curves were compared and evaluated with theoretical curves obtained using BER tool on the MATLAB by setting parameters for random generators. The results shows that the technique used do find a place in correcting error rates of QAM system of higher modulation schemes. The model can equally be used not only for the criteria of adaptive modulation but for a platform to design other modulation systems as well.

BRAIN TUMOR MRIIMAGE CLASSIFICATION WITH FEATURE SELECTION AND EXTRACTION USI...ijistjournal
Feature extraction is a method of capturing visual content of an image. The feature extraction is the process to represent raw image in its reduced form to facilitate decision making such as pattern classification. We have tried to address the problem of classification MRI brain images by creating a robust and more accurate classifier which can act as an expert assistant to medical practitioners. The objective of this paper is to present a novel method of feature selection and extraction. This approach combines the Intensity, Texture, shape based features and classifies the tumor as white matter, Gray matter, CSF, abnormal and normal area. The experiment is performed on 140 tumor contained brain MR images from the Internet Brain Segmentation Repository. The proposed technique has been carried out over a larger database as compare to any previous work and is more robust and effective. PCA and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) were applied on the training sets. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier served as a comparison of nonlinear techniques Vs linear ones. PCA and LDA methods are used to reduce the number of features used. The feature selection using the proposed technique is more beneficial as it analyses the data according to grouping class variable and gives reduced feature set with high classification accuracy.

A MEDIAN BASED DIRECTIONAL CASCADED WITH MASK FILTER FOR REMOVAL OF RVINijistjournal
In this paper A Median Based Directional Cascaded with Mask (MBDCM) filter has been proposed, which is based on three different sized cascaded filtering windows. The differences between the current pixel and its neighbors aligned with four main directions are considered for impulse detection. A direction index is used for each edge aligned with a given direction. Minimum of these four direction indexes is used for impulse detection under each masking window. Depending on the minimum direction indexes among these three windows new value to substitute the noisy pixel is calculated. Extensive simulations showed that the MBDCM filter provides good performances of suppressing impulses from both gray level and colored benchmarked images corrupted with low noise level as well as for highly dense impulses. MBDCM filter gives better results than MDWCMM filter in suppressing impulses from highly corrupted digital images.
DECEPTION AND RACISM IN THE TUSKEGEE SYPHILIS STUDYijistjournal
During the twentieth century (1932-1972), white physicians representing the United States government
conducted a human experiment known as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study on black syphilis patients in Macon
County, Alabama. The creators of the study, who supported the idea of black inferiority and the concept
that black people’s bodies functioned differently from white people’s, observed the effects of a disease
called syphilis on untreated black patients in order to collect data for further research on syphilis. Black
individuals involved with the study believed that they were receiving treatment, although in truth,
treatments for syphilis were purposely held back from them. Not only this, but fluids from their bodies, such
as blood and spinal fluid, were extracted to serve as research material without their awareness of the
purpose of the collection. The physicians justified their approach by positioning it as mere observation,
asserting that they were not actively intervening with the patients participating in the experiment. However,
despite their claims of passivity, these white physicians engaged in various morally improper actions,
including deceit, which ultimately resulted in the deaths of numerous black patients who might have had a
chance at survival.

A NOVEL APPROACH FOR SEGMENTATION OF SECTOR SCAN SONAR IMAGES USING ADAPTIVE ...ijistjournal
The SAR and SAS images are perturbed by a multiplicative noise called speckle, due to the coherent nature of the scattering phenomenon. If the background of an image is uneven, the fixed thresholding technique is not suitable to segment an image using adaptive thresholding method. In this paper a new Adaptive thresholding method is proposed to reduce the speckle noise, preserving the structural features and textural information of Sector Scan SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) images. Due to the massive proliferation of SONAR images, the proposed method is very appealing in under water environment applications. In fact it is a pre- treatment required in any SONAR images analysis system. The results obtained from the proposed method were compared quantitatively and qualitatively with the results obtained from the other speckle reduction techniques and demonstrate its higher performance for speckle reduction in the SONAR images.

1. INTRODUCTION
The process of constructing models from experimental data is called system identification.
System identification involves building a mathematical model of a dynamic system based on set
of measured stimulus and response samples. It is a process of acquiring, formatting, processing
and identifying mathematical models based on raw data from the real-world system. Once the
mathematical model is chosen, it can be characterized in terms of suitable descriptions such as
transfer function, impulse response or power series expansions and that can be used for controller
design. Tri Chandra S.Wibowo.et.al [1] have done System Identification of an Interacting Series
Process for Real-Time Model Predictive Control. This paper aims at identifying a linear time-
invariant (LTI) with lumped parameters state space model of the gaseous pilot plant which has a
typical structure of interacting series process and the model has been developed around an
operating point. Edward P. Gatzke.et.al [2] have done work on Model based control of a four-
tank system. In this paper, the authors used sub space process modeling and hence applicable to

particular operating point.Nithya.et.al [3] have done work on model based controller design for a
spherical tank process in real time. They have proposed tangent and point of inflection methods
for estimating FOPTD model parameters. The major disadvantage of all these methods is the
difficulty in locating the point of inflection in practice and may not be accurate. Gatzke et al [2]
perform the parametric identification process of a quadruple tank using subspace system
identification method. Such a system has series structure with recycles and the input signals used
are the pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS)..The identification process is carried out without
taking into account the prior knowledge of process, and no assumption are made about the state
relationships or number of process states. Weyer [5] presents the empirical modeling of water
level in an irrigation channel using system identification technique with taking into account the
prior physical information of the system. The identified process is a kind of interacting series
process, however, the model only has a single output variable.
To accurately control a system, it is beneficial to first develop a model of the system. The main
objective for the modeling task is to obtain a good and reliable tool for analysis and control
system development. A good model can be used in off-line controller design and implementation
of new advanced control schemes. In some applications, such as in an industrial sewing
machine[6] , it may be time consuming or dangerous to tune controllers directly on the
machinery. In such cases, an accurate model must be used off-line for the tuning and verification
of the controller.
In the present work, The system identification of Interacting and Non-interacting tank systems are
found using genetic algorithm which is working out for full region and the results are compared
with Process Reaction curve method, ARX model, and Statistical model of Identification. Also,
we propose a method to obtain an accurate nonlinear system model based on neural networks
(NNs) and Fuzzy logic. Modeling techniques based on NNs and Fuzzy logic have proven to be
quite useful for building good quality models from measured data. The paper is organized as
follows. In Section-II, the process description is discussed. In section-III, the process reaction
curve method for the problem considered is discussed. In section-IV, the statistical model of
system identification implementation is discussed. In section-V, the ARX model development is
discussed.In section –VI, the Genetic Algorithm for System Identification is discussed. In the last
section, the Neuro and Fuzzy models and finally, the paper is concluded.

In this section, the transfer function model using process reaction curve method is discussed for
which the input and output data are generated from the real time interacting and non-interacting
system.This method is kept as the base model for comparing other methods of system
identification.

From the slope of the graphs, the following parameters are measured

3.2 Transfer function model for Non-interacting system
The steady state and dynamic data obtained for Interacting are tabulated in the Tables 4&5 from
which the steady state graph and process reaction curve are plotted.
From the slope of the graphs, the following parameters are measured
R1 = 4.6 ohms

Thus the transfer functions are obtained with process reaction curve methods. But the major
disadvantage of this method is difficulty in locating the point of inflection in practice and may not
be accurate. Gatzke et al [4]. Hence the other methods are suggested here and the Statistical
model identification method is discussed in the next section.
4. STATISTICAL MODEL OF SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION
Statistical model identification methods provide more flexible approaches to identification that
relax the limits to model structure experimental design. In addition, the statistical method uses all
data and not just a few points from the response, which provide better parameter estimates from
noisy process data. The input and output data are taken from the process for every sampling
instance. Using these data, the Z matrix and U matrix are formed which is the basis for
calculating the parameters of the system.
4.1. Formation of Z Matrix
Z matrix is formed using the output data. Each data is subtracted from the first output data. The
first non-zero values from the difference output are considered as the Z matrix.
7. International Journal of Information Sciences and Techniques (IJIST) Vol.2, No.5, September 2012
29
4.2. Formation of U Matrix
U matrix consists of four columns which involves both the input and output data. The first and
second column is just one shift from the Z matrix. The third and fourth column is formed using
the input data each data is subtracted from the first input data. The first non-zero values from the
difference input are considered as the second column of the U matrix.
4.3. Calculation of System Parameters of Second order System Identification by
Least Squares Regression
The second order model structure is
Y(k)=a1y(k-1)+a2y(k-2)+b1u(k-1)+b2u(k-2) (6)
Where a1, a2, b1, b2 are model parameters

5. ARX MODEL OF SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION FOR INTERACTING AND
NON-INTERACTING PROCESS
ARX means “Auto regressive eXternal input”. It is considered as black box system which can be
viewed in terms of input, output and transfer characteristics without the knowledge of its internal
working. To assess the data and the degree of difficulty in identifying a model, first estimate the
simplest, discrete-time model to get a relationship between u(t) and y(t) ,the ARX model which is
discussed here.
The ARX model is a linear difference equation that relates the input u(t) to the output y(t) as
follows:
y (t) + a1 y (t - 1) +…+ ana y (t - na) = b1 u (t - 1 ) + … + bnb u(t - nk - nb) + e(t)
Since the white-noise term e(t) here enters as a direct error in the difference equation, the above
equation is often called as an equation error model (structure). The adjustable parameters are in
this case,

Thus the transfer functions are developed using ARX model. In the next section, the Genetic
Algorithm for identification of the considered process is developed.
6. GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR INTERACTING AND NON-INTERACTING
PROCESS
A genetic algorithm (GA) is a method for solving both constrained and unconstrained
optimization problems based on a natural selection process that mimics biological evolution. The
algorithm repeatedly modifies a population of individual solutions. At each step, the genetic
algorithm randomly selects individuals from the current population and uses them as parents to
produce the children for the next generation. Over successive generations, the population
"evolves" toward an optimal solution.
In this work, GA tool is used for finding the parameters by comparing with realtime input, output
data. The steps for designing GA process are given below.
6.1. Steps for designing GA for Interacting and Non-interacting Process System
Identification
1. Open the GA tool
2. Call the objective function
a. In the objective function, define the parameters to be found as function arguments.
b. Write the dynamic response expression for the interacting and Non-interacting systems in
terms of the parameters to be found.
c. Call the input, output data generated.
d. Running GA will randomly substitute the parameters value and the output is found from
the dynamic response expression.
e. Compare and generate error between this output from the expression and the dataset.
f. Square and sum up this error till the time, until the steady state value .
g. GA will continuously run until this sum square error is zero.
h. Once, the sum square error is zero, the values obtained will be optimum.
3. Initialize and enter the range for the parameters, so that it is easy for the tool to check within
the range and take minimum time to find the optimum parameters..
4. Enter the number of population
5. Enter the stopping criteria parameters.
6. Select all the plot functions, so that the error, sum square error and iterations all are
visualized easily.
Table 6 shows the parameters set in GA tool. Running GA tool will end towards optimum
solutions. The parameters given by the GA tool is validated with real-time dataset.

7. Development of Neuro and Fuzzy model for Interacting and Non-
interacting process
The modeling of interacting and non-interacting process in process industries is an extremely
difficult task. This is because the dynamics of the process are non-linear and time varying. Hence
it is necessary to employ universal approximators like neural networks and Fuzzy logic which
perform mapping of the input-output data set. This mapping is conformal in nature. Hence the
neural network and Fuzzy logic behave like a "BLACK BOX" which can be used to approximate
any non-linear, time varying process.
7.1.Design of neuro modeling
The major steps involved in the design of modeling using neural networks are as follows:
a) Identification of the architecture of the Neural Network: Whenever the input-target
patterns are known, the Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) is the best choice as it does the exact
input-output mapping. Hence, the type of neural network best suited for interacting and
non-interacting process is the MLP having three layers i.e. Input layer, hidden layer, and
output layer. The number of nodes in the hidden layer is determined to be five, by trial and
error after considering the training error after 6000 epochs. The activation function for the
hidden layer is chosen to be the binary sigmoid whose output varies from 0 to 1 and for the
output layer, it is linear. The inputs applied to the neural network are inflow(Fin) and
previous output(h(k-1)).
b) Obtaining the training data: The training data are generated from the open loop response
of the system for various step changes in inflow. Sample of data used for training Non-
interacting process and Interacting process are shown in the Tables 7 & 8. Care is taken to
ensure that the training data set is a representative of the type of input and output patterns
encountered so that the model could be effectively designed.

c) Training: The most important step involved in the design of the neural network model is
the training of the Neural Network. The architecture used for the training of the neuromodel
is shown in the Figure 4. The training is accomplished by the use of Neural Network
Toolbox (NNTOOL) available in MATLAB. The training patterns of inflow and previous
height are concatenated into an n×2 matrix where n is the number of training patterns. The
output (current height) is presented to NNTOOL as a column vector. There are many
algorithms present in NNTOOL for training. Among these, a gradient descent algorithm
with momentum factor included (TRAINGDM), is used for training. The stopping criterion
specified is 0.25, i.e. the training is stopped when the Root mean square error (RMSE)
between the network outputs and the targets is lesser than or equal to 0.25. The learning
rate is fixed at 0.5. The number of training epochs is fixed uniformly at 6000. The number
of hidden nodes are changed from 2 to 6.For 5 hidden nodes the error is found to be
minimum as shown in the Table 9 and it is used in training the network. Some of the
patterns are also used to test the network in order to prevent over fitting of the training data.

Finally the values of the weights obtained after training is used for the feed forward
implementation.

7.2.Design of Fuzzy Modeling
The design of fuzzy control system consists of several steps. First the variables for the fuzzy
model are selected. The universe of discourse for all the variables involved are then set. Here the
fuzzy model is designed with two input variables inflow(Fin) and Previous output(h(k-1) and one
output variable, current output(h(k)). The universe of discourse for these parameters are 0 to 300
lph, 0 to 60 cm and 0 to 60 respectively. The membership functions of inflow, previous output
and the current output are generated in the Matlab Fuzzy toolbox and the Fuzzy design was done.
The results with Neuro and Fuzzy model for Interacting and Non-interacting process are shown in
the figures 5 & 6.

statistical method, ARX model and genetic algorithm method and System identification using GA
is found to be one of the simple methods for system identification without need for much of
calculations.
