Before revision:  This non-parametric predictive model approach in the work here attains the key advantage of alleviating the rather heavy computational burden  encountered in the optimization procedures typical in alternative methodologies requiring open-loop input/output measurement data collection and parametric system identification.
After revision:  This non-parametric predictive model approach in the work here attains the key advantage of alleviating the rather heavy computational burden encountered in the optimization procedures otherwise involved. Such requisite optimization procedures are typical in existing methodologies requiring open-loop input/output measurement data collection and parametric system identification.
