System and method using separators for developing training records for use in creating an empirical model of a process
First Claim
1. A device for developing a training record, capable of being used to create a model of a process, from data pertaining to a plurality of variables associated with the process, comprising:
- means for creating a file having multiple values for each of the plurality of variables from the data pertaining to the plurality of variables;
means for indicating a position within the file;
means for selecting first and second of the values within the file to define a record;
means for determining if the first value is associated with a position within the file which is on one side of the indicated position and if the second value is associated with a position within the file which is on another side of the indicated position to thereby determine if the first and second selected values are on different sides of the indicated position; and
means responsive to the determining means for preventing the use of the defined record as a training record when the first and second values are on different sides of the indicated position.

Abstract
A device and method develop a training record for use in creating an empirical model of a process from data associated with the process. Data from a continuous process in the form of a continuous file or data from a set of batch files associated with different runs of a batch process is used to develop a file having multiple values for each of a plurality of variables associated with the process. A flag or other indicator is placed within the file to indicate the location of a significant event within the process or the location at which the data from different batch files was concatenated together. A record is then developed from the file by selecting a multiplicity of values within the file. Thereafter, it is determined if any two of the selected values within the record are located within the file at positions which are on different sides of the position indicated by the flag or other indicator. If so, that record is prevented from being used as a training record for training an empirical model of the process.

8. A device for creating a model of a process from a set of data values for each of a plurality of variables associated with the process, comprising:
-
means for creating a file having a multiplicity of values for each of a sub-set of the plurality of variables from the set of data values for each of the plurality of variables; means for indicating a position within the file; means for selecting a first value within the file and a second value within the file; means for determining if the first value is at a position within the file which is on one side of the indicated position and if the second value is at a position within the file which is on the other side of the indicated position; means for developing a training record from the first and second values if the position of the first value is on the same side of the indicated position as the position of the second value; means for training a model of the process using the training record. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method of developing a training record for use in creating a model for a process which has a plurality of variables associated therewith, including the steps of:
-
creating a file having multiple values for each of the plurality of variables; indicating a position within the file; selecting multiplicity of values from the file to define a record; determining if a first one of the selected values within the record is associated with a position within the file which is one side of the indicated position and if a second one of the selected values within the record is associated with a position within the file which is on another side the indicated position to determine if the first and second selected values are on the same side of the indicated position; and preventing the use of the defined record as a training record if the first and second selected values are not on the same side of the indicated position. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method of creating a model of a process having a plurality of variables associated therewith, including the steps of;
-
developing a set of data values for each of the variables; creating a file having a multiplicity of values for each of the variables from the set of data values; indicating a position within the file; selecting a first value within the file and a second value within the file; determining if the first value is at a position within the file which is on one side of the indicated position and if the second value is at a position within the file which is on the other side of the indicated position; using the first and second values to develop a training record if the position of the first value is on the same side of the indicated position as the position of the second value; creating a model of the process using the training record. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
