Linear (Partial least squares, PLS; Principal components regression, PCR) and nonlinear (Artificial neural networks, ANN; supported vector machine, SVM) modeling approaches were assessed. The nonlinear models, ANN and SVM, were the more suitable models with the lowest absolute errors. The mean absolute error of the best models within the assessed parameter ranges for viable cell density (0.01-8.83 × 106 cells/mL), cell viability (1.3-100.0 %), glucose (5.22-10.93 g/L), lactate (18.6-152.7 mg/L), glutamine (158-1761 mg/L), glutamate (807.6-2159.7 mg/L), and ammonium (62.8-117.8 mg/L) were 1.55 ± 1.37 × 106 cells/mL (ANN), 5.01 ± 4.93 % (ANN), 0.27 ± 0.22 g/L (SVM), 4.7 ± 2.6 mg/L (SVM), 51 ± 49 mg/L (ANN), 57 ± 39 mg/L (SVM) and 2.0 ± 1.8 mg/L (ANN), respectively. The errors achieved, and best-fitted models were like those for the same bioprocess using offline data and others, which utilized inline spectra for mammalian cell lines as a host.
