Robust Gaussian Process Regression and its Application in Data-driven Modeling and Optimization
DownloadFall 2015
Availability of large amounts of industrial process data is allowing researchers to explore new data-based modelling methods. In this thesis, Gaussian process (GP) regression, a relatively new Bayesian approach to non-parametric data based modelling is investigated in detail. One of the primary...

Rock failure is observed around boreholes often with certain types of failure zones formed which are called breakouts. Drilling experiments in some high porosity quartz-rich sandstone have shown that breakouts are formed by developing a narrow localized compacted zone in the minimum horizontal...
