An Ensemble Learning-Based Predictive Parameterization Approach for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines by Sema Nur Ipek, Nur Bekiroglu, Murat Taskiran

“…It also outperformed individual models in error metrics, with a MAPE of 7.66% for (R) compared to 23.06% (TRF) and 29.42% (LRNN). The visualization analysis confirmed the model’s strong predictive capability, as the error distribution is tightly clustered around zero, the estimated values align closely with the ideal line, and the real trends in efficiency and torque across various load conditions are accurately represented. …”
