Resumo

Técnicas de clusterização visam à formação de grupos de observações homogêneas dentro de um mesmo grupo e significativamente distintas das observações inseridas em outros grupos. Em processos industriais cuja produção é apoiada em bateladas, a definição de famílias (grupos) de bateladas com perfis semelhantes auxilia na definição de estratégias de controle e monitoramento desses processos. Este artigo propõe um método para seleção das variáveis de clusterização mais relevantes para formação de famílias de bateladas. Para tanto, integra funções kernel a um novo índice de importância de variáveis gerado a partir dos parâmetros oriundos da Análise de Componentes Principais (ACP). A qualidade dos agrupamentos formados é avaliada através do Silhouette Index (SI). Quando aplicada em três processos produtivos, a sistemática proposta reteve em média 5,16% das variáveis iniciais e elevou o SI médio em 235,4% frente à utilização de todas as variáveis. Um estudo de simulação também é realizado para avaliar a robustez do método.

Abstract

Clustering techniques are tailored to find internally homogeneous groups of observations. In industrial processes that rely on batches, grouping batches with similar profiles provides valuable information about process control and monitoring. This paper proposes a variable selection approach based on the kernel function and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The clustering quality is assessed through the Silhouette Index (SI). When applied to three industrial processes, the proposed approach retained an average of 5.16% of the original variables, yielding on average a 235.4% more precise batch grouping. We also performed a simulation experiment.

Keywords

Clustering analysis. Variable selection. Kernel. Batch processes.
