This paper focuses on developing a new data-driven procedure for decomposing seasonal time series based on local regression. Formula of the asymptotic optimal bandwidth hA in the current context is given. Methods for estimating the unknowns in hA are investigated. A data-driven algorithm for...

Many control solutions are currently available for controlling energy system operations. Newly developed solutions for established systems are assumed to demonstrate improvement over previous solutions especially in cost savings. We have found this to be true in the area of HVAC (heating,...

Purpose In the literature on determinants of disclosure, scholars generally tend to investigate the existence of relations in “global” terms by considering the whole range of observed values pertaining to both dependent and independent variables involved in the descriptive model. Despite the...

Purpose Land value varies at a micro level depending on the location’s economic, geographical and political determinants. The purpose of this study is to present a comprehensive assessment of the determinants affecting land value in the Indian city of Thiruvananthapuram in the state of Kerala....
