Abstract
In this invention there is disclosed a system and method for predicting web breaks in a paper machine. In particular, this invention uses a neural network to predict web break tendencies from sensor measurements taken from the paper machine. Also, an induction tree model is used to isolate the root cause of the predicted web break tendencies.
