Recipes for the polishing machine, such as recipes for carrier head pressure, are generated from empirical data, and consequently can provide a more accurate prediction than techniques based upon theoretical models. A plurality of test substrates are polished with a plurality of parameter sets. A polishing profile is measured for each of the plurality of test substrates, and a polishing time is calculated for each polishing parameter set which minimizes the difference between a predicted substrate profile and a desired substrate profile.
