“…In spite of these difficulties, a significant number of successful applications of ANNs for dynamic modelling are reported over a wide spectrum of fields [11,26,20,27]. Especially in the process engineering area, ANNs have been extensively used as Nonlinear AutoRegressive eXogenous (NARX) models for dynamic system identification of both univariate (single output) [28,1,29,30,31,21] and multivariate (multi-output) problems [16,32,17,33,14,34]. In the literature, multivariate systems are usually approximated either using a multi-output ANN model or an ensemble of singleoutput ANNs models, where, in the latter case, a set of independent single-output ANN models, each approximating one output as a function of the inputs, is built.…”
