Abstract :
This paper proposes a new classification algorithm for improving the accuracy of electronic noses. The algorithm extends the conventional multi-dimension combining (MDC) of measurement level (PARC method as multilayer perceptron, or MLP) into abstract level (PARC methods as k-nearest neighbor (KNN), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and probabilistic neural network (PNN)) and hierarchical level (HMDC, or hierarchical multidimension combining). The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated using experimental data and Enose device of Cyranose 320
