1Measurement precision

If conventional regression methods are used to estimate coefficients from time-series data, then the modeling process is simple, but the precision of coefficient estimation deteriorates due to multicollinearity issues

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by identifying and removing collinear variables before coefficient estimation, and by pre-calibrating correction values using known relationships between variables. This prevents multicollinearity issues from degrading estimation precision while maintaining modeling simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Correction values are introduced as intermediaries between the observed time-series data and the final coefficient estimates. These correction values compensate for multicollinearity effects and improve estimation precision without requiring complex alternative modeling approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If all input variables are included in the regression model, then the model captures more physical phenomena, but the precision of individual coefficient estimates deteriorates due to multicollinearity

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The set of input variables is segmented into collinear and non-collinear groups. Variables within collinear groups are processed specially through correction mechanisms, while non-collinear variables are included directly in the regression model, preserving both model coverage and estimation precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different processing approaches are applied to different variables based on their collinearity characteristics. Variables with high collinearity receive correction value adjustments, while independent variables use standard regression estimation, optimizing precision for each variable's specific properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 1:

Correction values based on prior physical knowledge are calculated and applied in advance to the regression coefficients. This preliminary correction step improves modeling accuracy by incorporating domain knowledge without requiring complex iterative optimization during the main modeling process.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from known physical relationships to adjust coefficient estimates. Correction values are derived from established physical laws and relationships, providing feedback that refines the raw regression coefficients into more accurate physical parameter estimates.

Inventive Principle:
