A Novel Self-organizing Neural Technique for Wind Speed Mapping

2009

Systems with high nonlinearities are, in general, very difficult to model. This is particularly true in geostatistics, where the problem of the estimation of a regionalized variable (RV) given only a small amount of measurement stations and a complex terrain surface is very challenging. This paper introduces a novel strategy, which couples the Curvilinear Component Analysis (CCA) and the Generalized Mapping Regressor (GMR). CCA, which is a nonlinear projector of a data manifold, is here used in order to find the intrinsic dimension of the data manifold, just giving an insight on the nonlinearities of the problem. This analysis drives the pre-processing of the data set used for the training …
