Abstract

A method and device are provided for leakage detection and leakage location in an area of a supply network (e.g. water supply, gas supply or district heating network), wherein measurement values of sensors of the supply network are statistically analyzed for the presence of leakages using robust regression methods. The false alarm rate (type 2 error) may be reduced or minimized.
