Abstract
Systems and methods of complex process control utilize driving factor identification based on nonlinear regression models and process step optimization. In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for generating a system model for a complex process comprised of nonlinear regression models for two or more select process steps of the process where process steps are selected for inclusion in the system model based on a sensitivity analysis of an initial nonlinear regression model of the process to evaluate driving factors of the process.
