Statistical Modelling of Mechanical Tensile Properties of Steels by Using Neural Networks and Multivariate Data Analysis.
C. Dumortier, Philippe Lehert · ISIJ International · 1999
Both Neural networks NN and Multivariate Data Analysis MDA techniques were used to determine mechanical tensile properties of steels. NN apparently proved better in dealing with non-linearity effects and complex interactions between the predictors. However, MDA was found essential in improving the quality of the prediction and providing interpretation to the results from NN modelling.
