Application of Dimensionality Reduction and Machine Learning Methods for the Interpretation of Gas Sensor Array Readouts from Mold-Threatened Buildings
Paper is in the scope of moisture-related problems which are connected with mold threat in buildings, sick building syndrome (SBS) as well as application of electronic nose for evaluation of different building envelopes and building materials. The machine learning methods used to analyze multidimensional signals are important components of the e-nose system. These multidimensional signals are derived from a gas sensor array, which, together with instrumentation, constitute the hardware of this system. The accuracy of the classification and the correctness of the classification of mold threat in buildings largely depend on the appropriate selection of the data analysis methods used. This paper proposes a method of data analysis using Principal Component Analysis, metric multidimensional scaling and Kohonen self-organizing map, which are unsupervised machine learning methods, to visualize and reduce the dimensionality of the data. For the final classification of observations and the identification of datasets from gas sensor arrays analyzing air from buildings threatened by mold, as well as from other reference materials, supervised learning methods such as hierarchical cluster analysis, MLP neural network and the random forest method were used.
