Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method of implementing predictive modeling, comprising:
a computer performing multivariate analysis of input variables relating to characteristics of products and output variables relating to performance of the products to generate a data model of the products, the data model representing contributions to changes in the output variables by the respective input variables;
providing the data model to a predictive algorithm to identify parameter values for input variables expected to have a most significant impact on selected output variables, the predictive algorithm outputting the parameter values, wherein the data model comprises the computer automatically generating a Design of Experiments (DoE) design for an input variable space of the industrial process, processing an experimental design using the data model and storing results based on preferred outcome, further comprising the predictive algorithm making predictions of a predetermined number of best next trials for the DoE and outputting parameter values for the predetermined number of best next trials and probabilities of improved results using the parameter values;
providing the parameter values as the input variables to optimize the selected output variables; and
recommending a product that optimizes the selected output variables for specified input variables.
