This
paper
proposes the AdaBoost metalearning methodology to combine the outcomes
of tree-based models of classification and the regression tree (CART)
algorithm for estimating the equilibrium dissociation temperature
of clathrate hydrates. In addition to the AdaBoost-CART models, models
based on the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and artificial
neural network (ANN) approaches were also developed. Training and
testing of the models were done utilizing a gathered database of more
than 3500 experimental data on incipient dissociation conditions of
CO2 and other hydrate systems. With the average absolute
relative deviation percent (AARD%) between 0.03 and 0.07, 0.04 and
1.09, and 0.09 and 1.01, which were obtained by the presented AdaBoost-CART,
ANFIS, and ANN models, respectively, the targets were reproduced with
satisfactory accuracy. However, for all of the studied clathrate hydrate
systems, the proposed AdaBoost-CART models provide more reliable results.
Indeed, the obtained AARD% values for tree-based models are lower
than those of other models.
