Fuzzy inductive reasoning forecasting strategies able to cope withmissing data: A smart grid application

Dealing with missing data is of great practical and theoretical interest in forecasting applications. In this study, we deal with the problem of forecasting with missing data in smart grid and BEMS applications, where the information from home area sensors and/or smart meters is sometimes missing, w...

In this study, we deal with the problem of forecasting with missing data in smart grid and BEMS applications, where the information from home area sensors and/or smart meters is sometimes missing, which may hinder or even prevent the forecasting of the next hours and days.
