Course detail
Empiric Models
FSI-9EMM Acad. year: 2022/2023 Winter semester
If the important variables for a process are known or sought but the process model is unknown, an empirical approach to model building is required. The development of empirical models represents a continuous process that involves postulation of a model, experimentation to collect empirical data, "fitting" of the model, i.e. estimation of the model coefficients, and evaluation of results. The strategy of empirical model building is described in the course.
