In this paper we present an analysis of the results of a study into wholesale (spot) electricity price forecasting … accuracy of electricity price forecasting models. The efficiency of NN and SVM retraining for price forecasting was evaluated … December 1998. The analysis of the results showed that SVMs with one unique solution, produce more consistent forecasting …

Time series forecasting is an important area of forecasting in which past observations of the same variable are … models, autoregressive (AR) techniques, moving averages (MA) etc. Recent research activities in forecasting also suggested … that artificial neural networks can be used as an alternative to traditional linear forecasting models. This study will …

The Los Alamos National Laboratory Building Cost Index indicates that actual escalation since 1970 is near 10% per year … the cost of a typical construction project, which for our purposes, is a complex of office buildings and experimental … construction project. The building cost index is compared to other national building cost indexes. …
