Introduction to Process Control: Analysis, Mathematical Modeling, Control and Optimization

This textbook is intended for an introductory graduate level on process control, taught in most engineering curricula. It focuses on the statistical techniques and methods of control and system optimization needed for the mathematical modeling, analysis, simulation, control and optimization of multivariable manufacturing processes. In four sections, it covers:

1. Relevant mathematical methods, including random events, variables and processes, and their characteristics; estimation and confide...
