In the engineering field, excessive data dimensions affect the efficiency of machine learning and analysis of the relationships between data or features. To render feature dimensionality reduction more effective and faster, this paper proposes a new feature dimensionality reduction approach combining a sampling survey method with a heuristic intelligent optimization algorithm. Drawing on feature selection, this method builds a feature-scoring system and a reduced-dimension length-scoring system based on the sampling survey method. According to feature scores and reduced-dimension lengths, the method selects a number of features and reduced-dimension lengths that are ranked in the front with high scores. This feature dimensionality reduction method allows for in-depth optimal selection of features and reduced-dimension lengths with high scores using an improved heuristic intelligent optimization algorithm. To verify the effectiveness of the dimensionality reduction method, this paper applies it to road roughness time-domain estimation based on vehicle dynamic response and gene-selection research in bioengineering. Results in the first case show that the proposed method can improve the accuracy of road roughness time-domain estimation to above 0.99 and reduce measured data of the vehicle dynamic response, reducing the experimental workload significantly. Results in the second case show that the method can select a set of genes quickly and effectively with high disease recognition accuracy.
The Magic Formula tire model can describe the mechanical properties of tire accurately and thus is applied in the research field of vehicle dynamics widely. The Magic Formula tire model has the characteristics of a great number of parameters and the high nonlinearity, so it is hard to identify parameters. Researchers generally use different intelligent optimization algorithms for parameter identification. However, in the process of parameter identification, with a few experimental data, parameter identification results generally have the low accuracy, while, in the case of a large number of experimental data, the amount of work done in the experiment will increase and there will be many experimental errors. To solve these problems, this paper researches the longitudinal force of tire and proposes an interpolation method and a method based on the nonlinear research of the tire force. The results of parameter identification experiments on the two kinds of tire data show that both of the two methods can be used for the parameter identification of Magic Formula tire model fast and accurately with only a few experimental data. In addition, this paper proposes a method estimating the maximum longitudinal force and corresponding slip rate.
