<p>An empirical ensemble based virtual sensor system (VS) for the estimation of a virtual sensor output value (yR) comprising two or more empirical models (NNl, NN2,...,NNn). The output value is estimated in each of the empirical models (NNl, NN2,...,NNn), and a combination function combines (f) the results from the empirical models (NNl, NN2,...,NNn) to provide a combined estimate for the virtual sensor output value (yR) that is more accurate than the estimated output value (yl, y2,...,yn) from each of the individual empirical models (NNl, NN2,...,NNn). The total performance of the virtual sensor system may be increased by increasing the number of empirical models (NNl, NN2,...,NNn).</p> |
