Currently, in most countries, the electricity sector is liberalized, and traded deregulated markets. In these markets, demand determined day before physical delivery through (semi-)hourly concurrent auctions. Hence, accurate forecasts are essential for efficient effective management of power systems. The prices, however, exhibit specific features, including non-constant mean variance, calendar effects, multiple periodicities, high volatility, jumps, so on, which complicate forecasting...

Over the last three decades, accurate modeling and forecasting of electricity prices has become a key issue in competitive markets. As price series usually exhibit several complex features, such as high volatility, seasonality, calendar effect, non-stationarity, non-linearity mean reversion, is not trivial task. However, participants market need forecast to make decisions their daily activity market, trading, risk management or future planning. In this study we consider linear nonlinear...
Nowadays, modeling and forecasting electricity spot prices are challenging due to their specific features, including multiple seasonalities, calendar effects, extreme values (also known as jumps, spikes, or outliers). This study aims provide a comprehensive analysis of price by comparing several outlier filtering techniques followed various frameworks. To this end, first treated with five different then replaced four replacement approaches. Next, the spikes-free series is divided into...
Nowadays, short-term traffic flow forecasting has gained increasing attention from researchers due to congestion in many large and medium-sized cities that pose a serious threat sustainable urban development. To this end, research examines the performance of functional time series modeling forecast ultra-short term. An appealing feature approach is unlike other methods, it provides information over whole day, thus, forecasts can be obtained for any within day. Within approach, Functional...
This study addressed the complex challenges associated with landslide detection along Karakoram Highway (KKH), where tectonic events and data availability limitations posed significant obstacles. To overcome these hurdles, research framework encompassed several critical components. First, it tackled issue of multicollinearity through application statistical measures such as Variable Inflation Factor (VIF) Information Gain (IG). Secondly, emphasized importance selecting a area that would...
It is well known that different socioeconomic, household sizes, school levels, and cultural factors are highly related to the problem of out-of-school children. The main objective this study quantify determinants children in Pakistan. For study, data used from Pakistan Social Living Standards Measurement (PSLM) survey, collected for year 2015–16. aged 6–16 years who or out considered as a unit analysis. Unlike previous studies generally provide theoretical framework empirical investigation...
ABSTRACT This study develops three surveillance schemes to monitor a two‐step cascade manufacturing operation with reliability data. The designed schemes, namely, lower‐sided cumulative sum (CUSUM), exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) and without reflecting barrier, are based on the proportional odd model account for dependent structure of operations. reliability‐based quality variable corresponds second step is assumed follow discrete Weibull distribution. efficiency proposed...
Abstract This work proposes a new approach for the prediction of electricity price based on forecasting aggregated purchase and sale curves. The basic idea is to model hourly curves, predict them find intersection predicted curves in order obtain equilibrium market volume. Modeling performed by means functional data analysis methods. More specifically, parametric (FAR) nonparametric (NPFAR) autoregressive models are considered compared some benchmarks. An appealing feature that, unlike other...
