A method, system, and medium of modeling and/or for controlling a
manufacturing process is disclosed. In particular, a method according to
embodiments of the present invention includes the step of identifying one
or more input parameters. Each input parameter causes a change in at
least two outputs. The method also includes the step of storing values of
the identified inputs and corresponding empirical output values along
with predicted output values. The predicted output values are calculated
based on, in part, the values of the identified inputs. The method also
includes the step of calculating a set of transform coefficients by
minimizing a score equation that is a function of differences between one
or more of the empirical output values and their corresponding predicted
output values. The method further includes the steps of receiving a new
set of values for the identified inputs, transforming the new set of
values for the identified input using the set of coefficients, and
calculating a set of predicted output values using the transformed input
values.
