Title
Ensemble of Surrogates for Dual Response Surface Modeling in Robust Parameter Design.
Abstract
The robust parameter design of industrial processes and products on the basis of the concept of building quality into a design has attracted much attention from researchers and practitioners for many years, and several methods have been studied in the research community. Dual response surface methodology is one of the most commonly used approaches for simultaneously optimizing the mean and the variance of response in quality engineering. Nevertheless, when the relationship between influential input factors and output quality characteristics of a process is very complex (e.g. highly nonlinear and noisy), traditional approaches have their limitations. In this article, we introduced support vector regression, kriging model, and radial basis function, which are commonly used in computer experiments, into robust parameter design, and especially introduced a new strategy that builds the dual response surface using the ensemble of surrogates, which can provide a more robust approximation model. We demonstrated the advantages of kriging, support vector regression, radial basis function, and the ensemble of surrogates by reinvestigating the dual response approach on the basis of parametric, nonparametric, and semiparametric approaches, and a simulation experiment is studied. The results show that our presented models can achieve more desirable results than parametric, nonparametric, and semiparametric approaches in terms of fitting and predictive accuracy, and the optimal operating conditions recommended by our presented models are similar to those recommended in literature, which indicates the validation of our presented models.
