Abstract
A method for predicting the accuracy of a water meter includes measuring a plurality of characteristics of each water meter of a plurality of installed water meters, one of the characteristics being water meter accuracy. A regression model is determined that relates water meter accuracy to the one or more other characteristics by performing a linear regression of measurements of the other water meter characteristics against measurements of water meter accuracy.
