Extreme Gradient Boost Regression to Model a SI-POF Link Using OFDM Transmission

The use of plastic optical fibers has become widespread due to their mechanical advantages and low cost, despite presenting considerable dispersion. This paper models an OFDM transmission link using the signal power, the bias current and the fiber length over an Extreme Gradient Boost regressor by fitting the multicarrier signal-to-noise ratio. The results show an improvement in the coefficient of determination, and in the error metrics, when compared to traditional modeling.
