Intelligent Systems in Process Engineering, Part I: Paradigms from Product and Process Design

$207.90

$207.90
From:Elsevier

Document Overview:

Volumes 21 and 22 of Advances in Chemical Engineering contain ten prototypical paradigms which integrate ideas and methodologies from artificial intelligence with those from operations research, estimation andcontrol theory, and statistics. Each paradigm has been constructed around an engineering problem, e.g. product design, process design, process operations monitoring, planning, scheduling, or control. Along with the engineering problem, each paradigm advances a specific methodological theme from AI, such as: modeling languages; automation in design; symbolic and quantitative reasoning; inductive and deductive reasoning; searching spaces of discrete solutions; non-monotonic reasoning; analogical learning;empirical learning through neural networks; reasoning in time; and logic in numerical computing. Together the ten paradigms of the two volumes indicate how computers can expand the scope, type, and amount of knowledge that can be articulated and used in solving a broad range of engineering problems.Key FeaturesSets the foundations for the development of computer-aided tools for solving a number of distinct engineering problemsExposes the reader to a variety of AI techniques in automatic modeling, searching, reasoning, and learningThe product of ten-years experience in integrating AI into process engineeringOffers expanded and realistic formulations of real-world problems

Document Overview:

Are you a data mining analyst, who spends up to 80% of your time assuring data quality, then preparing that data for developing and deploying predictive models? And do you find lots of literature on data mining theory and concepts, but when it comes to practical advice on developing good mining views find little "how to" information? And are you, like most analysts, preparing the data in SAS?This book is intended to fill this gap as your source of practical recipes. It introduces a framework for the process of data preparation for data mining, and presents the detailed implementation of each step in SAS. In addition, business applications of data mining modeling require you to deal with a large number of variables, typically hundreds if not thousands. Therefore, the book devotes several chapters to the methods of data transformation and variable selection.FEATURESA complete framework for the data preparation process, including implementation details for each step.The complete SAS implementation code, which is readily usable by professional analysts and data miners.A unique and comprehensive approach for the treatment of missing values, optimal binning, and cardinality reduction.Assumes minimal proficiency in SAS and includes a quick-start chapter on writing SAS macros.CD includes dozens of SAS macros plus the sample data and the program for the book's case study.Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included.
