Statistical recoupling: A new way to break the link between electric-utility sales and revenues

Hirst, E. - 2008

In 1991, US electric utilities spent almost $1.8 billion on demand-side management (DSM) programs. These programs cut peak demands 5% and reduced electricity sales 1% that year. Utility projections suggest that these reductions will increase to 9% and 3%, respectively, by the year 2001. However,...

Statistical Validation of Engineering and Scientific Models: A Maximum Likelihood Based Metric

HILLS, RICHARD GUY; TRUCANO, TIMOTHY G. - 2008

Two major issues associated with model validation are addressed here. First, we present a maximum likelihood approach to define and evaluate a model validation metric. The advantage of this approach is it is more easily applied to nonlinear problems than the methods presented earlier by Hills...
