The general form of the watercut YW regression is: 

Y_W^{-1} = Y_{W0}^{-1} + \mbox{Regression}(\{q_k\}), \quad k=[1..N]

One can build various types of regression including the Artificial Neural Network or the closed-form regressions.

The simplest form of the linear closed-form regression is:

Y_W^{-1} = Y_{W0}^{-1} + \sum_{k=1}^N w_k \cdot q_k, \quad k=[1..N]


The simplest form of the non-linear closed-form regression is polynomial:

Y_W^{-1} = Y_{W0}^{-1} + \sum_{k=1}^N w_k \cdot q_k ^ {n_k}


The more general of the non-linear closed-form regression is rational fraction:

Y_W^{-1} = Y_{W0}^{-1} + \frac{\sum_{k=1}^N w_k \cdot q_k ^ {n_k} }{1 + \sum_{k=1}^N z_k \cdot q_k ^ {m_k} }, \quad |z| = \sqrt{\sum_k z_k} >0
