# Stochastic Branch Takeoff
|
|
|
|
generate a BOM from point loads distributed in a space.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- x: 302.84
|
|
y: 2364.47
|
|
kW: 5.3
|
|
voltage: 277
|
|
phases: 1
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
determine relative impact of factors
|
|

## Average Distance Given Area
|
|
|
|
Holding area constant,
|
|
average taxicab distance between points
|
|
varies greatly with the aspect ratio of the space.
|
|
Weighted by a probability distribution
|
|
an average length and confidence could be given for any known area.
