Zusammenfassung:	Apparatus and methods are provided for predicting a plurality of unknown parameter values (e.g. overlay error or critical dimension) using a plurality of known parameter values. In one embodiment, the method involves training a neural network to predict the plurality of parameter values. In other embodiments, the prediction process does not depend on an optical property of a photolithography tool. Such predictions may be used to determine wafer lot disposition.
