A method for providing independent static and dynamic models in a prediction, control and optimization environment utilizes an independent static model (20) and an independent dynamic model (22). The static model (20) is a rigorous predictive model that is trained over a wide range of data, whereas the...http://www.google.de/patents/US6487459?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US6487459 - Method and apparatus for modeling dynamic and steady-state processes for prediction, control and optimization
