Hello friend,

I'm sending this message out because I may get some help
from you.

Right now I am doing a project titled "Applying artificial
neural networks and virtual experimental design to quality
improvement". The thing is that I need some real-world data
to play with. That is for one of my I&ME course.

For example, a manufacturing (or service) process has n
independent/input variables that change at different levels
and thus influence the dependent/output variable(s). I need
at least 3*n data points to model the relationship (usually
nonlinear and complex) between the input and output
variables. The data have to be real and the output variable(s) of the process
should somehow be related to quality!

If you happen to have that kind of information or you
have a friend who works in some company and may have that
kind of information, please email me within a week or two.
I plan to model, predict and optimize the process based on
the real data and hopefully publish something. If the
results are publishable, you'll be the second or third
author (I promise).

Thank you!

BTW, if you cannot help, please just forget it.

Sincerely,
Xianming
