ABSTRACT: This paper considers parameter estimation for nonlinear model using median squared error (MSE) criterion, which is limited
to linear model in the past. It is shown that applying MSE, the essence of estimating parameters for hinging hyperplanes (HH)
and linear model are the same. Motivated by this fact, MSE estimation is discussed for HH. A local optimality condition is
given and based on this condition, an algorithm using linear programming technique is proposed. Numerical experiments show
the good performance of the proposed estimation strategy and algorithm.

ABSTRACT: Centrifugal chiller plants (CCP) are widely used in air conditioning systems, its operation optimization can save lots of energy and has great significance in environmental protection. The optimization is a large-scale nonlinear problem and there is no practical algorithm until now. This paper proposes a new method to do this operation optimization using continuous piecewise linear programming (CPWLP). The main idea is transforming the nonlinear problem into a series of linear programmings by approximating the original system using piecewise linear representation. For CPWLP, some properties are discussed and an algorithm is given. Using CPWLP, CCP system is optimized and its energy performance is improved significantly.

ABSTRACT: The model of adaptive hinging hyperplanes (AHH) is proposed in this paper. It is based on multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) and generalized hinging hyperplanes (GHH) and shares attractive properties of the two. By making a modification to the basis function of MARS, AHH shows linear property in each subregion. The AHH model is actually a special case of the GHH model, which has a universal representation capability for continuous piecewise linear functions. The approximation ability of the AHH model is proved. The AHH algorithm is developed similar to the MARS algorithm. It is adaptive and can be executed efficiently, hence has power and flexibility to model unknown relationships. The AHH procedure is applied to identifying two dynamic systems and its potential is illustrated.
