Abstract:
A method of combining parametric data from a first record having data values for a plurality of time intervals and a second record having data values for a plurality of time intervals, the time intervals of the second record not all corresponding to the time intervals of the first record, the method comprising:comparing the time intervals of the first record with the time intervals of the second record;determining which time intervals of each of the first and second records do not correspond with time intervals of the other record;subdividing one or more time intervals of said first record or said second record into subdivided time intervals so that time intervals of said first record correspond to time intervals of said second record;determining parametric data values for the subdivided time intervals of said first record or said second record;selecting a start date and an end date of desired data based on said first and second records; anddetermining combined data for the first and second records by applying an algorithm to the parametric data of the first and second records for corresponding time intervals between said start date and said end date.
