Abstract

Depending on the representationability of neural networks for a nonlinear process,this paper develops procedures to locate the inputspace dimensions of feedforward neural networks forgeneral practical nonlinear systems identificationwhen only the outputs are accessible observations. Thesize of the input space is directly related to theinvolved system order. Hence based on our developedmodel, we are able to determine whether the system isfaulty or not by monitoring the output error change.The methods are demonstrated in vibration signals thatwere measured by an accelerometer mounted on atraction centre of a railway carriage running at about60 mph along the Hong Kong railway.
