MR-PRIM: Patient Rule Induction Method for Multiresponse Optimization

ABSTRACT Most of the works in multiresponse surface methodology have been focusing mainly on the optimization issue, assuming that the data have been collected and suitable models have been built. Though crucial for optimization, a good empirical model is not easy to obtain from the manufacturing process data. This article proposes a new approach to solving the multiresponse problem directly without building a model—an approach called patient rule induction method for multiresponse optimization (MR-PRIM). MR-PRIM is an extension of PRIM to multiresponse problems. Three major characteristic features of MR-PRIM are discussed as the new approach is applied to the case of a steel manufacturing process.
