Benefits of technology

This patent describes methods for controlling systems that use inputs and outputs in order to achieve specific goals such as optimizing performance or reducing costs. These techniques involve analyzing data records related to these inputs and outputs to identify relationships between them. Based on this analysis, the system can adjust its behavior accordingly.

Problems solved by technology

This patent describes a problem with current methods for controlling engine systems that involve complicated physical or mathematical models. These models can only adjust specific aspects of the engine's behavior but cannot optimally allocate inputs during different stages of its life cycle. Therefore, there is a technical problem addressed by this patent.

Abstract

A method is provided for a control system. The method may include obtaining data records associated one or more input variables and one or more output parameters, and selecting one or more input parameters from the one or more input variables. The method may also include generating a computational model indicative of interrelationships between the one or more input parameters and the one or more output parameters based on the data records, and determining desired respective statistical distributions of the one or more input parameters of the computational model.
