SUEZ WATER'S RESPONSE TO NINTH PRODUCTION REQUEST
OF THE COMMISSION STAFF - 3
1 5522326 _1 .DOCX [30-209]
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness:Watson
REQUEST NO. 152:
Please provide the statistical residual measures of the lowa curves that were derived for
the following accounts:
a. 331. Transmission and Distribution
b. 333. Services
c. 334. Meters
RESPONSE NO.152:
Alliance Consulting Group's software does not compute residual measures as
propounded in the question. The software does produce a sum of squares difference
which would yield similar results. These results were provided in response to Staff
Request No. 133. For actuarial analysis see the results in Attachment 1. The reference
pages in Attachment 1 are as follows: Account 331, see pages 58 and 59, Account 333
pages 70-72 and Account 334 pages 88-91.
The residual measure is not computed for Simulated Plant Record Method analysis.
However the Conformance Index as defined in Exhibit 13 page 10 uses the residual
measure in the denominator. For SPR analysis see the results in Response to Question
133, Attachment 2. The reference pages in Attachment 2 are as follows: Account 331,
see pages 31-40, Account 333 pages 43-52 and Account 334 pages 55-64.
Mr. Watson does not rely on statisticalmeasures to base his life recommendations. See
Exhibit 13, pages 11-12 for information on visual matching which is Mr. Watson's
preference for actuarial analysis.
