TCLab C - Parameter Estimation
The TCLab is a hands-on application of machine learning and advanced temperature control with two heaters and two temperature sensors. The labs reinforce principles of model development, estimation, and advanced control methods. This is the third exercise and it involves estimating parameters in a multi-variate energy balance model. The predictions are aligned to the measured values through an optimizer that adjusts the parameters to minimize a sum of squared error objective. This lab builds upon the TCLab B by using the model of two heaters and two temperature sensors.
