There are a large number of methods and tools to analyze the quality
indicators of natural gas. The most promising direction in the field is the
correlation methods that use statistical models, in particular, neural networks.
This is because it is possible to train these models. As a result, it is possible
to get a clearer definition of the relationship between the model input and
output parameters and to determine subsequently the required target
parameters of natural gas. Currently lacks a general algorithm to determine the architecture and
parameters of neural network models. Therefore, a comparative analysis of
various models was previously carried out to solve the problem. Based on the
results of such analysis, it was concluded that recurrent neural networks are
main statistical models in this problem. But in contrast to the study
mentioned above, this paper considers a recurrent neural network with a
more complex architecture, namely, a network with a controlled recurrent
block.
