A New Componentwise Hölder Regression Method for Shrink-Horizon Economic Model Predictive Control
Abstract:
This article proposes a novel learning-based Shrink-Horizon Economic Model Predictive Control (SHEMPC) algorithm for constrained nonlinear systems with unknown dynamics and additive disturbances. By combining data clustering and kernel techniques, a componentwise Hölder regression algorithm is customized to construct an accurate and sparse dynamics predictor. The kernel weights and Hölder matrices within each cluster are determined using a tailored Block Coordinate Descent (BCD) optimization method. Then, two error bounds of the regression-based predictor are estimated a priori for the design of SHEMPC. Next, by integrating the customized constraint-tightening method of the predictor, the SHEMPC algorithm is formulated as two finite-horizon receding optimization problems solved iteratively. The algorithm enables a flexible trade-off among economic performance, stability, and online computational burden via simple parameter adjustments. Moreover, some mild assumptions are derived to ensure the feasibility and Input-to-State Stability (ISS) of the closed-loop system as well as smoothness and prediction complexity of the predictor. The performance and merits of the proposed algorithm are illustrated through a numerical example and a Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) simulation.

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:

Parameters Affecting Nonlinear Elimination: Zero-Order Input, First-Order Absorption and Two-Compartment Model
When a drug is administered through a constant intravenous infusion and eliminated via nonlinear pharmacokinetics, it follows zero-order input. For example, oral drugs undergo first-order absorption upon administration and are eliminated through nonlinear pharmacokinetics.
In the case of subcutaneously administered drugs,...
Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
