Abstract.
A method of rank determination which can also be used to construct models for some non-linear processes by means of a global
linearizing transformation (GLT) is presented. A test case using the theoretical properties of an ideal gas is analyzed for comparison
with the log linearization. A real data set from a Taguchi sensor array is analyzed by the method and the results are compared with
previous work. The linearizing transformations are constructed using spline functions for the examples treated in this paper, although
other kinds of functions can be used.
