A method is provided for a virtual sensor system. The method may include
establishing a first process model indicative of interrelationships
between a plurality of input parameters and a plurality of output
parameters and establishing a second process model indicative of
interrelationships between at least the plurality of input parameters and
modeling errors of the first process model. The method may also include
operating the first process model to generate values of the plurality of
output parameters and simultaneously operating the second model to
generate estimated deviations between the values of the plurality of
output parameters and desired values of the plurality of output
parameters. Further, the method may include compensating the values of
the plurality of output parameters with the estimated deviations to
generate the desired values of the plurality of output parameters.
