Forecasting monthly residential natural gas demand in two cities of Turkey using just-in-time-learning modeling. by Burak Alakent, Erkan Isikli, Cigdem Kadaifci, Tonguc S Taspinar

“…Since a model is constructed separately for each test point, the proposed method is, indeed, an example of JITL. The JITL-GPR method is easy to use and optimize, and offers a reduction in forecast errors compared to traditional time series methods and a state-of-the-art combination model; therefore, it is a promising tool for NGD forecasting in similar settings.…”
