Abstract
In a method for predicting an airflow rate of at least one air delivery device, a plurality of airflow rates through the at least one air delivery device at a plurality of airflow rates of at least one air moving device are received. A conditional probabilistic model is generated with the air moving device flow rates as inputs and the airflow rates through the at least one air delivery device as outputs. Moreover, the airflow rate of the at least one air delivery device is predicted from the conditional probabilistic model.
