Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method and an incontinence monitoring system for estimating a volume or a volume range of a bodily output in a combination absorbent article and wetness sensor. The system comprises a combination of an absorbent article and a wetness sensor, and a processor adapted to receive an input representative of an electrical variable of the wetness sensor indicative of the occurrence of a bodily output in the absorbent article and to process the input including: characterising the input to generate a vector that is representative of the bodily output, applying one or more functions to the vector to generate one or more possible volumes of the bodily output, generating a distribution of the possible volumes, and determining a volume or a volume range for the bodily output based on the distribution of the possible volumes.
