Multivariate statistical process control (cont)
Statistical characterization of a process is superior to unaided human judgment
- Multivarite statistics are extremely effective tools for detecting correlation amidst significant noise.
- Probabilistic relationships are more readily obtained and verifiable than causal understanding
- Methodical “mechanical” approach is more thorough compared to heuristics and intuition
Potential issues
- still in a research state
- volume: does pharma have the number of batches to do this
