1. A method for controlling a state of an objective function of a vehicle, comprising:
- estimating expected states and associated probable ranges for a plurality of influence factors associated with stochastic parameters over a time horizon;
determining a preferred control state for an objective function associated with the probable ranges of the influence factors over the time horizon;
determining a candidate control state for the objective function associated with the expected states for the influence factors over the time horizon; and
controlling the objective function using the preferred control state for the objective function over the time horizon.

Abstract
A method for operating a vehicle includes estimating expected states and probable ranges for influence factors associated with stochastic parameters over a time horizon. A preferred control state and a candidate control state for an objective function are determined. The objective function is controlled using the preferred control state for the objective function over the time horizon.
