On-Line Computer Analysis and Control of Experiments
Roy Kaplow, H. Posen · Journal of Applied Physics · 1969
An analysis procedure and data accumulation scheme is described which allows implementation of a fully interactive, computerized ``process control'' for a general class of physical experiments in terms of derivable experimental results. The method is applicable whenever the derivable physical parameters can be expressed in terms of integrals over functions of the measured quantities and reciprocal relationships allow prediction of the measured values in terms of the derived quantities. The analysis may be most useful when the transformations are orthogonal.
