ABSTRACT
In this study, we propose an equation for the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) as an index to quantitatively evaluate the generalization performance of a reduced-order model (ROM) based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). The ROM proposed by Otake et al. (2021) has primarily been validated using known input data, and the evaluation of its generalization performance for unknown input data has been an issue. In this study, we incorporate a linear Gaussian state-space model into the ROM by Otake et al. (2021) and present a method to quantitatively evaluate its generalization performance using AIC through parameter estimation with the Expectation-Maximization algorithm.
Keywords: Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD), Reduced-OrderModel (ROM), Lenear Gaussian State-Space Model (LGSSM).
