ABSTRACT:
A process modeling system and method develop a set of process model inputs for a process model, such as a neural network, from values for a number of process input variables and at least one process output variable. The system and method first determine a correlation measurement between each of the process input variables and the process output variable and select a set of potential model input variables based on the correlation measurements. The system and method then iteratively determine a succession of sets of potential model input variables by performing a regression analysis on the selected set of potential model input variables and the model output variable and by then refining the set of potential model input variables based on the result of the regression analysis and on the correlation measurements. After a number of iterations, the system and method choose a set of potential model input variables as the set of model inputs and develop a process model from the chosen set of model inputs.
