The Need to Forecast

When the result of an action is of consequence, but cannot be known in advance with precision, forecasting may reduce decision risk by supplying additional information about the possible outcome. The potential benefit of forecasting lies in the realm of decision making to exert control over some process. To be able to look into future is always a question in mind of decision makers. Calculating the likely value of a variable or its likely behavior are important outcomes of forecasting.

Decision t ....etc

Transportation forecasting is the process of estimating the number of vehicles or people that will use a specific transportation facility in the future. For instance, a forecast may estimate the number of vehicles on a planned road or bridge, the ridership on a railway line, the number of passengers visiting an airport, or the number of ships calling on a seaport. Traffic forecasting begins with the collection of data on current traffic. This traffic data is combined with other known data, such as population, ....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

Economic forecasting, predicting any of the elements of economic activity. Such forecasts can be made in great detail or can be very general. In any case, they describe the expected future behavior of all or part of the economy and help form the basis of planning.

Formal economic forecasting is usually based on a specific theory about how the economy works. Some theories are complicated, and their application requires elaborate cause and effect tracking. Others are relatively simple, attributing the majority of developments in the economy to ....etc
