Abstract: Gas sensor array is an important and powerful technique for detecting gas and measuring gas concentrations. The conventional strategy to describe the relationship between the response of the sensor and the actual gas concentration is to use some specific nonlinear parametric models. In this work, we use the nonparametric model to depict the change in the gas sensor response with the gas concentrations, which effectively avoids model misspecification. Furthermore, we propose an inverse prediction method based on the nonparametric model to predict gas concentrations. Data-driven selection of tuning parameters is also developed. The simulation results reveal that, when the real model of the sensor array is unknown or misspecified, the nonlinear parametric model is inferior to the nonparametric model in performance. Meanwhile, we verify this with the real data analysis.
