Abstract
Performance assessment of model predictive control (MPC) systems has been focusing on evaluation of the variability with, for example, minimum variance or LQG/MPC tradeoff curve as benchmarks. These previous studies are mainly concerned with the dynamic performance of MPC. However, the benefit of MPC is largely attributed to its capability for economic optimization. The economic performance, on the other hand, is also dependent on the variability reduction achieved through dynamic control. There is a need to assess MPC performance by considering economic performance, variability reduction, and their relationships. One of the good indications of this relation is the constraint tuning. In practical MPC applications, the constraint setups are important whenever an MPC is commissioned, and constraint tunings are not uncommon, even when the MPC is already on-line. Thus, the questions to ask are which constraints should be adjusted, and what is the benefit to do so? By investigating the relationship between variability and constraints, problems of interest are solved under the Bayesian inference framework (namely, through the Bayesian approach for decision evaluation and decision-making). The decisions that are referenced are whether to tune the constraints to achieve the optimal economic MPC performance and which constraints should be tuned. A detailed case study for a distillation column MPC application is provided to illustrate the proposed performance assessment methods.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
