This section contains an overview of the mathematics of two-stage models. A comprehensive reference for two-stage modeling is Davidian and Giltinan [3]. The information is divided into the following sections:

• Two-Stage Models for Engines
• Local Models
• Local Covariance Modeling
• Response Features
• Global Models
• Two-Stage Models
• Prediction Error Variance for Two-Stage Models
• Global Model Selection
• Initial Values for Covariances
• Quasi-Newton Algorithm
• Expectation Maximization Algorithm
