ENVIRONMENTAL OBSERVATION AND FORECASTING SYSTEM USING WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

We describe Environmental Observation and Forecasting Systems (EOFS), a new class of large-scale distributed system designed to monitor, model, and forecast wide-area physical processes such as river systems. EOFS have strong social relevance in areas such as education, transportation, agriculture, natural resource planning and disaster response. In addition, they represent an opportunity for scientists to study large physical systems to an extent that ....etc

Abstract:
Load forecasting helps electricity utilities make important decisions such as purchasing and generating electric power, load switching and infrastructure development. Energy suppliers, financial institutions and other participants in electric energy generation, transmission, distribution and markets benefit from load forecasts. This paper proposes the combination of wavelet analysis and radial basis function (RBF) neural network as tools for STLF. The forecasting model ....etc

The expected equity premium is an important parameter in many financial models, especially within portfolio optimization. A good forecast of the future equity premium is therefore of great interest. In this thesis we seek to forecast the equity premium, use it in portfolio optimization and then give evidence on how sensitive the results are to estimation errors and how the impact of these can be minimized.Linear prediction models are commonly used by practitioners to forecast the expected equity premium, this with mixed results. To only choose ....etc
