Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Expert Systems Applications for the Electric Power Industry, Vol. 2
For interference test analysis, a type - curve graphical technique has been the standard of the trade for many years. In practice this technique has the disadvantages of being restricted to relatively simple cases and of requiring subjective judgement for curve fitting. The popularization of digital computers brought about computerized analysis techniques These techniques, by use of regression and least - squares linear programming, eliminated the subjectivity previously associated with fitting a model to the observations, and provided the possibility of studying complicated systems and handling large quantities of data. However, the application of these techniques still requires extensive experience on the part of the analyst, and, except in the simpler cases, is laborious. The labour is associated with the necessity of running the same program many times, in cleverly selected sequences, with different subsets of data. The experience is required mainly for providing initial guesses of the parameter solutions to start the programs, for applying adequate quantitative criteria for accepting a computed fit to the data and for selecting the proper sequence in which to run the program and the corresponding data subsets.
