<p>A method and system of monitoring multivariate process data in a process plant, where the multivariate process data comprises a plurality of process variables each having a plurality of observations, includes defining each process variable as a process variable vector comprising a set of observation components, where the set of observation components comprises time dependent process data corresponding to the observations of the process variable, calculating, a multivariable transformation as a function of a plurality of process variable vector transformation each corresponding to one of the process variables, where each process variable vector transformation is a function of a univariate variable unifying the process variables, and representing the operation of the process based on the multivariable transformation, where the representation of the operation of the process designates a multivariate projection of the process data by the univariate variable for each of the process variables.</p> |
