Small Sample Modelling Based on Deep and Broad Forest Regression: Theory and Industrial Application delves into tree-structured methods in the industrial sector, encompassing classical ensemble learning, tree-structured deep forest classification, and broad learning systems with neural networks. It introduces an innovative deep/broad learning algorithm for small-sample industrial modeling tasks. The book is divided into two parts: methodology and practical application in dioxin emission modeling. Methodology sections include Preliminaries, Deep Forest Regression, Broad Forest Regression, and Fuzzy Forest Regression. The application part focuses on modeling dioxin emissions in municipal solid waste incineration. Throughout, various tree-structured strategies are presented, and the authors provide software systems for validating these methods. This book is suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate engineering students, and practicing engineers looking for self-study resources. - Introduces a novel deep and broad regression algorithm specifically designed for small sample industrial modeling. It covers Deep Forest Regression for Industrial Modeling, Broad Forest Regression for Industrial Modeling, and Fuzzy Forest Regression for Industrial Modeling- Delves into recent results concerning the hot topic of deep and broad learning using non-neuron units for regression and the interpretability of fuzzy trees. These innovative methods are supported by the use of multi-dimensional benchmark data, providing solid confirmation- Offers a real application case for industrial modeling by focusing on dioxin emission concentration. This case revolves around a strict controlled environment index of the municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) process. The book provides offline modeling techniques such as improved deep forest regression and simplified deep forest regression
