Download or read book Nonlinear Modeling And Forecasting written by Martin Casdagli and published by Westview Press. This book was released on 1992-06-20 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a Santa Fe Institute and NATO sponsored workshop, this book brings together the ideas of leading researchers in the rapidly expanding, interdisciplinary field of nonlinear modeling in an attempt to stimulate the cross-fertilization of ideas and the search for unifying themes. The central theme of the workshop was the construction of nonlinear models from time-series data. Approaches to this problem have drawn from the disciplines of multivariate function approximation and neural nets, dynamical systems and chaos, statistics, information theory, and control theory. Applications have been made to economics, mechanical engineering, meteorology, speech processing, biology, and fluid dynamics.
