Claim One:
1. Method of regulating and controlling a technical process which is executed in time either in a continuous manner or in a discontinuous manner by applying at each time t desired values &lcub;C 1 (t),..., C n (t)&rcub; leading to a result R(t) which is measurable but not observable and generating a plurality of observable quantities separate from the result R(t) of which at least two are independent &lcub;G 1 (t),..., G m (t)&rcub;, characterised in that: at least two independent observable quantities G 1 (t),..., G p (t) are measured, with the aid of a predictive model M, or a set of models, of which the variables include the at least two independent observable quantities, an estimate R es (t)&equals;M(G 1 (t),..., G p (t)) of the result R(t) is calculated, with the aid of a control law L of which the input variable is the estimated result R es (t), new desired values &lcub;C 1 (t&plus;1),..., C n (t&plus;1)&rcub;&equals;L( Res (t)) are calculated which are applicable for the time t&plus;1, and the desired values &lcub;C 1 (t),..., C n (t)&rcub; are replaced by the desired values &lcub;C 1 (t&plus;1),..., C n (t&plus;1)&rcub;.
