Industrial applications of product design through the inversion of latent variable models

A methodology, presented by Jaeckle and MacGregor [C.M. Jaeckle and J.F. MacGregor, Product Design Through Multivariate Statistical Analysis of Process Data, AIChE J. 44 (5) (1998) 1105–1118.], for finding a window of process operating conditions within which a product with specified quality characteristics can be produced is applied to two industrial polymerization processes. The approach uses historical data available on the process operating …
