Recent data-driven soft sensors often use multiple adaptive mechanisms to cope with non-stationary environments. These mechanisms are usually deployed in a prescribed order which does not change. In this work we use real world data from the process industry to compare deploying adaptive mechanisms in a fixed manner to deploying them in a flexible way, which results in varying adaptation sequences. We demonstrate that flexible deployment of available adaptive methods coupled with techniques such as cross-validatory selection and retrospective model correction can benefit the predictive accuracy over time. As a vehicle for this study, we use a soft-sensor for batch processes based on an adaptive ensemble method which employs several adaptive mechanisms to react to the changes in data.
