摘要:AbstractBlack-box model structures are dominated by large multivariate functions. Usually a generic basis function expansion is used, e.g. a polynomial basis, and the parameters of the function are tuned given the data. This is a pragmatic and often necessary step considering the black-box nature of the problem. However, having identified a suitable function, there is no need to stick to the original basis. So-called decoupling techniques aim at translating multivariate functions into an alternative basis, thereby both reducing the number of parameters and retrieving underlying structure. In this work a filtered canonical polyadic decomposition (CPD) is introduced. It is a non-parametric method which is able to retrieve decoupled functions even when facing non-unique decompositions. Tackling this obstacle paves the way for a large number of modelling applications.
