First Claim
12. A predictive system for modeling the operation of at least one output of a process that operates in defined operating regions of an input space;
- comprising;
a set of training data of input values and corresponding measured output values for the at least one output of the process taken during the operation of the process within the defined operating regions;
a plurality of local models of the process, each associated with one of the defined operating regions and each trained on the portion of said training data for the defined operating region associated therewith;

Abstract
A predictive global model for modeling a system includes a plurality of local models, each having: an input layer for mapping into an input space, a hidden layer and an output layer. The hidden layer stores a representation of the system that is trained on a set of historical data, wherein each of the local models is trained on only a select and different portion of the set of historical data. The output layer is operable for mapping the hidden layer to an associated local output layer of outputs, wherein the hidden layer is operable to map the input layer through the stored representation to the local output layer. A global output layer is provided for mapping the outputs of all of the local output layers to at least one global output, the global output layer generalizing the outputs of the local models across the stored representations therein.
