Seven tuning schemes for an ADALINE model to predict floor pressures in a subsonic cavity flow

Abstract

This paper presents a simple yet effective one-step-ahead predictor based on an adaptive linear element (ADALINE). Several tuning schemes are studied to see whether the obtained model is consistent. The process under investigation is a subsonic cavity flow system. The experimental data obtained from the system is post-processed to obtain a useful predictor. The contribution of the paper is to demonstrate that despite the spectral richness of the observed data, a simple model with various tuning schemes can help to a satisfactory extent. Seven algorithms are studied, including the least mean squares (LMS), recursive least squares (RLS), modified Kaczmarz's algorithm (MK), stochastic approximation algorithm (SA), gradient descent (GD), Levenberg—Marquardt optimization technique (LM) and sliding mode-based tuning (SM). The model and its properties are discussed comparatively.
