    Abstract: A method for ruggedizing an ICE design, fabrication and application with neural networks as disclosed herein includes selecting a database for integrated computational element (ICE) optimization is provided. The method includes adjusting a plurality of ICE operational parameters according to an environmental factor recorded in the database and simulating environmentally compensated calibration inputs. The method includes modifying a plurality of ICE structure parameters to obtain an ICE candidate structure having improved performance according to a first algorithm applied to the database and validating the ICE candidate structure with an alternative algorithm applied to the database. Further, the method includes determining a plurality of manufacturing ICEs based on the validation with the first algorithm and the alternative algorithm, and fabricating one of the plurality of manufacturing ICEs. A method for determining a fluid characteristic using a calibrated ICE fabricated as above and supplemental elements is also provided.
