Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining correlations between first measurements and second measurements after respectively different production steps for optimizing the production steps. The method includes multiple repetition of the following steps: drawing random samples from the set of measurements and calculating a correlation matrix between the first and the second measurements contained in the randomly drawn sample. After the repetitions have been completed, a mean correlation matrix is determined over the correlation matrices and a standard variance matrix of the correlation matrices. Then follows a determination of significance values based on a division of absolute value of the mean correlation matrix element by element with the absolute values of the standard variance matrix. Depending on the significance values, one of the production steps can be adjusted.
