First Claim
1. A method for controlling a controlled operation by determining the lag in measured data from at least one variable signal, comprising:
- processing the measured data using time-series analysis with a filter to produce filtered data with reduced noise content;
arranging the filtered data in matrices with one column for each variable signal;
shifting the columns of the matrices to produce a plurality of different shifted matrices, each shifted matrix having a given value for the lag in data for each variable signal;
processing each shifted matrix with a variable signal estimator to output a variable signal function for each variable signal that defines each variable signal in terms of its mathematical dependencies on all of the variable signals;
processing each variable signal function with a criterial function to provide an optimal lag value for each variable signal;
processing each shifted matrix with a point calculation algorithm to produce a point for each column in each shifted matrix;
processing each point and each optimal lag value with a lag estimator to output a lag function for each lag, each lag function defining each lag in terms of its mathematical dependency on all of the variable signals;
determining the goodness of fit of each lag function based on the most recent filtered data;
storing at least one lag function based on its goodness of fit; and
discarding at least one lag function based on its goodness of fit.

Abstract
A method for controlling a system includes determining the lag in data from a variable signal. The data is arranged in matrices with one column for each variable signal. The columns are shifted to produce a plurality of different shifted matrices, each shifted matrix having a given value for the lag in data for each variable signal. A variable signal estimator processes each shifted matrix to output a variable signal function defining each variable signal in terms of its mathematical dependencies on all of the variable signals. A criterial function processes each variable signal function to provide an optimal lag value for each variable signal. A point calculation algorithm processes each shifted matrix to produce a point for each column. A lag estimator processes each point and optimal lag value to output a lag function defining each lag in terms of its mathematical dependency on all of the variable signals.
