Process and system for calibrating a first loop feature value estimation method using a first locally measurable loop characteristic and a first set of parameters

摘要

A process for calibrating a first loop feature value estimation method using a first locally measurable loop characteristic and a first set of parameters, includes taking measurements of the first locally measurable loop characteristic for a plurality of loops, and obtaining a reference data set representing reference estimates of the loop feature value. The reference estimates are obtained by performing a calibrated second loop feature value estimation method using a second locally measurable loop characteristic and a second set of parameters. The method further includes determining calibrated parameters so as to minimize a deviation between the reference estimates and estimates obtained by applying the first estimation method to the measurements using the calibrated parameters as the first set of parameters.
