1. A computer-implemented method for controlling an injection molding process, the method comprising: receiving data measured after at least a portion of the injection molding process, the data representing process parameters, operating parameters, or both of the injection molding process; comparing the received data with a multivariate model that approximates the injection molding process to provide a result; upon the result of the comparing satisfying a condition, determining one or more values for a set of operating parameters for the injection molding process; and updating at least one operating parameter of the injection molding process when the one or more determined values for the set of operating parameters satisfies a criterion.
