Control method, control system, and program
First Claim
1. A control method in which a performance of a predetermined apparatus is controlled, the method comprising:
- obtaining data related to a predetermined performance of the predetermined apparatus and data on variation factors of the performance by repeatedly executing a predetermined measurement at least one of at a set timing and at set intervals; and
deriving a model equation used to predict a variation amount of the performance that includes at least one of the variation factors as a variable, by performing multivariate analysis based on the obtained data.

Abstract
By repeatedly executing a predetermined measurement at set intervals, data on a predetermined performance (a best focus position) of a predetermined apparatus and data on variation factors of the performance are obtained (Steps 204 to 214). Based on the obtained data, multivariate analysis is performed and a model equation that is used to predict a variation amount of the performance and includes at least one of the variation factors as a variable is derived (Step 214). Therefore, after deriving the model equation, a variation amount of the performance can be predicted using the model equation by obtaining data on the variation factor that serves as the variable (Step 238). Accordingly, it becomes possible to maintain the performance described above with good accuracy in accordance with the prediction results and also optimize the implementation timing of maintenance and the like.
