Evaluation of model parameter accuracy by using joint confidence regions: application to low complexity neural networks to describe enzyme inactivation
Ah. Geeraerd et al., Evaluation of model parameter accuracy by using joint confidence regions: application to low complexity neural networks to describe enzyme inactivation, MATH COMP S, 48(1), 1998, pp. 53-64
An existing low complexity, black box artificial neural network model (ANN
model) is investigated towards its more general applicability in the field
of high isobaric-isothermal inactivation of enzymes. The use of this non-li
near modeling technique makes it possible to describe accurately synergisti
c effects of pressure and temperature in contrast with more classical model
s used in this novel area of food processing.
The modeling approach will be illustrated on a new experimental data set, b
eing used to validate the structural characteristics of the selected ANN mo
del. Moreover, joint confidence regions, taking into account the correlatio
n between model parameters, will be constructed. The results will be transl
ated towards the raw experimental data. (C) 1998 IMACS/Elsevier Science B.V
