Systems and methods are provided that allow a user to monitor, diagnose,
and configure a process. A user interface may be presented that displays
data received from process monitors, sensors, and multivariate models.
The user interface may be interactive, allowing a user to select which
composite and multivariate models are displayed. The user interface and
multivariate model may be constructed and updated in real time. The user
interface may present various data and interfaces, such as a
representation of a composite variable in a multivariate model, a
representation of the contribution of process variables to the composite
variable, and a representation of a subset of the process variables. The
user may select a point of the composite variable for analysis, and the
interface may indicate the contribution and values of process variables
at the selected point. The interface may be transmitted to a remote user.
