The Estimation application allows you to edit data in the Meter Data Editor window.
The table below outlines the methods that can be used to estimate data.
Meter Estimation Methods
|
Estimation Method |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Replace |
The selected data is replaced with the Adjustment Value. |
|
Increment |
The Adjustment Value is added or subtracted to or from the selected data, respectively. |
|
Multiply |
The selected data is multiplied by the Adjustment Value. |
|
Divide |
The selected data is divided by the Adjustment Value. |
|
Integer + Remainder |
A proportional amount of the Adjustment Value replaces the selected data. The proportional amount is based on the Adjustment Value divided by the number of rows selected, with the remainder added to the last selected row. |
|
Equal Spread |
A proportional amount of the Adjustment Value replaces the selected data. The proportional amount is based on the Adjustment Value and the number of rows selected. |
|
Weighted Spread |
A proportional amount of the Adjustment Value is added to the selected data. The proportional amount is based on the Adjustment Value, the number of rows selected and the proportion of total flow of the original value. |
|
Runtime Weighted Spread |
A proportional amount of the Adjustment Value is added to the selected data. The proportional amount is based on the Adjustment Value, the number of rows selected and the proportion of Runtime of each record. |
|
Average |
The system calculates the average value based on the historical data at the selected start/end dates for the selected (checked) fields. |
|
Linear Interpolation |
A Linear Interpolation is performed based on the two endpoints selected. Each intermediate time slot value is filled in based on a linear fit for the selected (checked) fields.
|
|
Polynomial Interpolation - 2nd Order (Ax2 + Bx + C) |
Polynomial Interpolation is calculated based on the least squares fit. A best fit line is determined for all the selected data points. It is performed on the selected columns (that is, the columns that have been checked). |
|
Polynomial Interpolation - 3rd Order (Ax3 + Bx2 + Cx + D) |
Polynomial Interpolation is calculated based on the least squares fit. A best fit line is determined for all the selected data points. It is performed on the selected columns (that is, the columns that have been checked). |
|
Polynomial Interpolation - 4th Order (Ax4 + Bx3 + Cx2 + Dx + E) |
Polynomial Interpolation is calculated based on the least squares fit. A best fit line is determined for all the selected data points. It is performed on the selected columns (that is, the columns that have been checked). |
