Common factor area covering value (overlapping area A) between the two.Therefore, the formula of confidence desired value is as follows:
RI = 2 ∫ Z y ^ Ni + Z y ^ ri 2 ∞ 1 2 π σ e - 1 2 ( x - μ σ ) 2 dx - - - ( 4 )
Wherein work as Z y ^ Ni < Z y ^ ri &mu; = Z y ^ Ni
When Z y ^ ri < Z y ^ Ni &mu; = Z y ^ ri
σ is made as 1
The confidence desired value increases along with the increase of overlapping area A.This phenomenon points out to use result that the pattern of estimating obtains close to the result of using reference model to obtain, thereby corresponding virtual measurement value is more reliable.Otherwise the fiduciary level of corresponding virtual measurement value reduces along with the minimizing of overlapping area A.When by

After, can draw normality distribution diagram as shown in Figure 3, calculate to use the distribution common factor area covering value (overlapping area A) between the two of the prediction (reference quantity measured value) of the distribution of the prediction (virtual measurement value) that estimates pattern (for example adopting neural network (NN) algorithm) and reference model (for example adopting the multiple regression algorithm), can obtain the confidence desired value of each virtual measurement value.
After obtaining confidence desired value (RI), must stipulate a confidence indicator threshold value RI T).If RI<RI T, the degree of reliability of virtual measurement value that has this RI workpiece is low, that is have the quality of the workpiece of this RI may be abnormal, therefore need carry out actual measurement.Below describe and determine confidence indicator threshold value (RI T) method:
Stipulating confidence indicator threshold value (RI T) before, at first need stipulate out the maximum admissible error upper limit (E L).The error of virtual measurement value (Error) is actual amount measured value y iObtain with the pattern that estimated by NN

Difference, then divided by the percent of the absolute value after the mean value of all actual amount measured values, namely
Error i = | y i - y ^ Ni y - | &times; 100 % - - - ( 18 )
Then, can specify the maximum admissible error upper limit (E according to the degree of accuracy specification of the defined error of formula (18) and virtual measurement L).Therefore, confidence indicator threshold value (RI T) be defined as corresponding to the maximum admissible error upper limit (E L) confidence desired value (RI), as shown in 4 figure.That is,
RI T = 2 &Integral; Center &infin; 1 2 &pi; &sigma; e - 1 2 ( x - &mu; &sigma; ) 2 dx - - - ( 19 )
μ and σ are defined in formula (4); And
Z center = Z y ^ Ni + [ y - &times; ( E L / 2 ) ] / &sigma; y - - - ( 20 )
σ wherein yBe defined in formula (3).

Calculate confidence desired value (RI).Yet this kind replacement may cause the error of confidence desired value (RI), and in order to compensate this situation, the overall similarity index (GSI) that the present invention proposes processing procedure helps judge the degree of reliability of virtual measurement.
The concept of GSI proposed by the invention is that all the history parameters data when adopt at present equipment process data when the input of virtual measurement system with modeling are compared, and obtains a process data of inputting and the similarity degree index of all history parameters data.
The present invention can quantize similarity with various statistical distance algorithm, such as: mahalanobis distance algorithm (Mahalanobis Distance), Euclidean distance algorithm (Euclidean Distance) and center method (Centroid Method) etc.The statistical distance algorithm that mahalanobis distance is introduced 1936 Christian eras by P.C.Mahalanobis.This kind technological means is based on the kenel of the relevance between variable with identification and the different sample groups of analysis.Mahalanobis distance is in order to determine the method for the similarity between unknown sample group and known sample group, and the relevance between the method consideration data group also has yardstick unchangeability (Scale Invariant), and namely the size to measuring value is not relevant.If data have high similarity, the mahalanobis distance that calculates will be less.
The size of the GSI that utilization of the present invention calculates (mahalanobis distance) is differentiated the process data that newly advances whether similar in appearance to all process datas of modeling.If the GSI that calculates is little, represent that the process data that newly advances is similar to the process data of modeling, the virtual measurement value of the process data (high similarity) that therefore newly advances will be more accurate.Otherwise if the GSI that calculates is excessive, some is different for the process data of the process data that newly advances of expression and modeling.Thereby the quality with workpiece of the process data that newly advances (low similarity) may be abnormal, therefore need carry out actual measurement.
Estimate the standardization process parameter of pattern Computing formula suc as formula shown in (5), (6) and (7).At first, definition example edition supplemental characteristic X M=[x M,1, x M,2..., x M,p] T, x wherein M,jEqual
Figure GDA00002915032900122
So, each parameter of the modeling process data after standardization is 0 (that is the modeling parameters Z after standardization M,jBe 0).In other words, Z M=[Z M, 1,Z M,2..., Z M,p] TIn all parameters be 0.Next calculate the related coefficient between modeling parameters after each standardization.
Suppose that the related coefficient between s parameter and t parameter is rst, and k group data are wherein arranged,
r st = 1 k - 1 &Sigma; l = 1 k z sl &CenterDot; z tl = 1 k - 1 ( z sl &CenterDot; z tl + z s 2 &CenterDot; z t 2 + . . . + z sk &CenterDot; z tk ) - - - ( 21 )
After completing the related coefficient of calculating between each parameter, can obtain correlation matrix as follows:
Figure GDA00002915032900124
Suppose the inverse matrix (R of R -1) be defined as A,
A = R - 1 = a 11 a 12 &CenterDot; &CenterDot; &CenterDot; a 1 p a 21 a 22 &CenterDot; &CenterDot; &CenterDot; a 2 p &CenterDot; &CenterDot; &CenterDot; &CenterDot; &CenterDot; &CenterDot; &CenterDot; &CenterDot; &CenterDot; &CenterDot; &CenterDot; &CenterDot; a p 1 a p 2 &CenterDot; &CenterDot; a pp - - - ( 23 )
So, the standardized process parameter (Z of λ pen λ) and standardized example edition supplemental characteristic (Z M) between mahalanobis distance Computing formula is as follows:
D &lambda; 2 = ( Z &lambda; - Z M ) T R - 1 ( Z &lambda; - Z M )
(24)
= Z &lambda; T R - 1 Z &lambda;
Can get
D &lambda; 2 = &Sigma; j = 1 p &Sigma; i = 1 p a ij z i&lambda; z j&lambda; - - - ( 25 )
And the GSI value of λ process data is
Figure GDA00002915032900135
After obtaining the GSI value, use leaving-one method (Leave-One-Out in validation-cross (Cross Validation); LOO) principle defines GSI threshold value (GSI T).GSI threshold value (GSI T) formula as follows:
GSI T = a * GSI - LOO - - - ( 26 )
So-called " leaving-one method (Leave-One-Out; LOO) principle " from whole modeling samples; extract a test sample book of reaching the standard grade as emulation; re-use remaining Sample Establishing GSI model, then use the test sample book that this newly-built GSI model reaches the standard grade for this emulation and calculate its GSI value, this is worth with GSI LOOExpression.Then repeat above-mentioned steps until in modeling sample all each sample standard deviations calculate its corresponding GSI LOOTherefore, in formula (26)
Figure GDA00002915032900137
Representative sees through all GSI that the whole modeling samples of the former reason of LOO calculate LOOThe for example 90% average Number of truncation (Trimmed Mean).The a value of formula (26) between 2 to 3, what it can be according to actual state fine setting, the default value of a is 3.
