<p>Apparatus and associated method for constructing a quantifiable model, comprising: an object definer for converting user input into at least one cell having inputs and outputs, a relationship definer for converting user input into relationships associated with said cells such that each said relationships is associated with said cells via one of said inputs and outputs, a quantifier for analyzing said a data set to be modeled to assign quantitative values said with associated inputs and outputs, thereby to generate a quantitative model (Figure 2, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36). The model is useful in automatic decision-making and process control and for process simulation and study. The model building methodology provides for structured and quantity reduced investigation of process data since a qualitative model is used to guide the data analysis. The methodology also allows for obtaining new information regarding such a process through the resulting quantitative model.</p> |
