Abstract
A method and apparatus for monitoring a physical process comprising a plurality of interacting attributes where the attributes are components of the physical process. The method and apparatus locates defective attributes and defective interactions between interacting attributes within the physical process. The apparatus comprises a processor, and input member and a hierarchical data structure. Data concerning the attributes of the physical process are input and organized into the hierarchical data structure. A response variable and a variation in the response variable for each population in the hierarchical data structure is determined, and used to identify defects in the physical process.
