The main difference between weighted-average and Normalized Hall Plot is the averaging methodology.

The Normalized Hall Plot gives equal weighted to all data points

body--uriencoded--\displaystyle w(t) = \frac%7B1%7D%7Bt%7D
, while q-weighted J-plot gives more weighted to higher rate data points, lower weight to lower rate data points and zero weight to no-flow data points (
LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq=0
): 
LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--\displaystyle w(t) = \frac%7Bq_t%7D%7BQ%7D
.

When flowrate is constant 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyq=\rm const
 both methods are equivalent because
