The prediction is corrected by the prediction correction unit, which compares the prediction vector to the process output signal. The corrected prediction vector is then stored in the corrected prediction vector unit. The horizon selection unit isolates a portion of the prediction vector to form a subvector and feeds the subvector to an error vector calculator to form an error signal that is applied to the controller. A multivariable interactive control system is implemented by coupling plurality of VHPs and a plurality of loop interaction compensators to a process having a plurality of control inputs and a plurality of control outputs.
