A method includes obtaining a density of a fluid and obtaining a Marsh funnel time associated with the fluid. The density of the fluid and the Marsh funnel time is provided to a processor. The processor derives properties of the fluid from the fluid density and the Marsh funnel time. A machine-learning algorithm is applied to the properties of the fluid. The machine-learning algorithm determines a plastic viscosity and a yield point of the fluid. Output of the machine-learning algorithm is stored for future use. Properties of the drilling fluid are adjusted based on the output of the machine learning algorithm.
