Abstract:
1. A computerized method for estimating a design space of input factors and output responses for a physical process, comprising: (a) calculating, using a processor, for each input factor of a plurality of input factors for a physical process, a calculated range of input values within a corresponding experimented range of input values, wherein calculating is performed in parallel for the plurality of input factors and calculating comprises: (b) calculating, using the processor, a modified range of input values for each of the plurality of input factors, wherein calculating is performed for the plurality of input factors one at a time and calculating comprises, for each input factor of the plurality of input factors: (c) predicting, using the processor, a design space estimate based at least on the modified ranges of input values, wherein the modified ranges of input values each comprise a largest region of variability where criteria are fulfilled for one or more of the input factors.
