Verification of the Adequacy of an Algorithm for Estimating the Polycomposition of Gaseous Media Applied to a Multichannel Measurement System

Abstract

A technique of verifying the adequacy of an algorithm for estimating the polycomposition of gaseous media in terms of the adequacy of a corresponding mathematical model of a multichannel system is developed. The mathematical model is based on a previously proposed iterational process (algorithm) for estimating the parameters of a model that takes into account the totality of data in all the channels. A technique for more precise verification of the adequacy of the mathematical model, by means of which a result in the form of the confidence limits of the parameters may be obtained, is developed with the use of a dispersion approach.
