Abstract(summary):

The aim of this study is to propose an alternative methodology to classify wood species using the first (DTG), second (2DTG), and third (3DTG) derivatives of the thermogravimetric curves (TG). Accordingly, the main contribution of this new procedure consists on classifying materials (wood) taking into account the mass loss rate and acceleration with respect to temperature. In our research, each TG curve is firstly smoothed using the local polynomial regression estimator, and the first, second, and third derivatives are estimated. The application of the local polynomial regression estimator provides a reliable way to obtain the TG derivatives, overcoming the noise problem in the TG derivative estimation. Then, using these estimated curves, the different wood classes are discriminated employing a nonparametric functional data analysis (NPFDA) technique, based on the Bayes rule and the Nadaraya-Watson regression estimator, and also novel functional generalized additive models (GAM). The latter allows to classify materials using simultaneously more than one type of thermal curves. The results are compared with those obtained using classical and machine learning multivariate supervised classification methods, such as Linear discriminant analysis, Quadratic classification, Na < ve Bayes, Logistic regression, Nearest neighbors, Neural networks, and Support vector machines. A regression model consisting of the mixture of the first derivatives of four generalized logistic components, one per principal wood constituent (water, hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin), is applied to fit the DTG curves. The resulting 16 parameters from this fit characterize each curve and are used as datasets to apply the multivariate supervised classification methods. The use of the TG derivatives jointly with the TG curves has proved to be an optimal discriminating feature, when the new functional GAM techniques are employed.
