Popis: Many existing system modeling techniques based on statistical modeling, data mining and machine learning have a shortcoming of building variable relations for the full ranges of variable values using one model, although certain variable relations may hold for only some but not all variable values. This shortcoming is overcome by the Partial-Value Association Discovery (PVAD) algorithm that is a new multivariate analysis algorithm to learn both full-value and partial-value relations of system variables from system data. Our research used the PVAD algorithm to model variable relations of energy consumption from data by learning full-and partial-value variable relations of energy consumption. The PVAD algorithm was applied to data of energy consumption obtained from a building at Arizona State University (ASU). Full- and partial-value variable associations of building energy consumption from the PVAD algorithm are compared with variable relations from a decision tree algorithm applied to the same data to show advantages of the PVAD algorithm in modeling the energy consumption system.
