Abstract
ABSTRACT This study constructs and verifies a new statistical meta based-model to predict tunnel-boring machine (TBM) performance, namely, polynomial chaos expansion (PCE). To test the validity of the proposed PCE, two well-known mathematical models, namely, response surface method (RSM) and multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS) were developed. According to the results, it can be found that the PCE model, with a coefficient of determination (R2 ) of 0.843, was superior in comparison with the RSM and MARS models as well as those formerly presented in the literature for the same database and rock conditions.
