Response surface methodology (RSM) and Multiple linear regression methods are applied to develop statistical models for catalytic reactions in order to predict conversion or selectivity within a given range of reaction conditions. Taking different process conditions, such as temperature, pressure, space velocity, time on stream as input, the statistical models are obtained. Are these methods applicable to predict conversion and selectivity by taking not only operating conditions as input parameters, but also the catalyst properties, such pore size, particle size and other properties?

If the experimental data have not been collected by DOE methods, is it always necessary to train the data for RSM by ANN, or it can be directly used to predict the model?
