Abstract

A system and method for predicting web breaks in a paper machine. Principal components analysis (PCA) and classification and regression tree (CART) modeling are used to predict web break sensitivity from sensor measurements taken from the paper machine. Also, the CART model is used to isolate the root cause of the predicted web break sensitivity.
