Principal component analysis (PCA) and artificial neural networks (ANN) are used to investigate electronic gas sensor responses for various alcohol chemicals. PCA is used to identify and visualize the best features to use for classification as well as for detecting outliers. A regular feed forward back propagation neural network (FBP) was used for the actual classification due to the fact that FBP determines better the non-linear borders of the various region of interest involved in the classification. Further more, we consider the tradeoff between classification speed and accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
