Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
monitoring an instantaneous average property of polymers being produced by a polymerization reaction occurring in a reaction vessel a plurality of times during the polymerization reaction;
determining a corresponding change in polymer concentration in the reaction vessel based at least in part on successive measurements of the instantaneous average property of the polymers;
computing an instantaneous polymer property distribution corresponding to the most recently measured instantaneous average property using a statistical distribution; and
adding together the instantaneous distributions of the polymer with their amplitudes proportional to the change in polymer concentration between successive values of instantaneous average polymer property, to obtain a cumulative polymer property distribution of up to the latest measured value of the instantaneous average polymer property and change in polymer concentration.
