Interpretation
Interpretation of BUS is based on:
- visual analysis of PTA diagnostic plot
- selecting diffusion model from PTA Type Library
- fitting selected diffusion model to pressure gauge data records
In some cases when one can uses Horner model which is a simplified version of BUS interpretation procedure.
