In order to reach accurate tourism demand forecasts, various forecasting methods have been proposed in the literature [1]. These approaches can be divided into two subclasses. One of them is conventional methods such as autoregressive moving average (ARIMA) or exponential smoothing. And, the other one is advanced forecasting techniques such as fuzzy time series, artificial neural networks (ANN) or hybrid approaches. The main purpose of this study is to develop some efficient forecasting models based on ANN for tourism demand of Barcelona in order to reach high accuracy level.

Evaluation and forecasting of gas consumption by statistical analysis Gorucu, FB; Gumrah, F (2004-02-01) This study includes an approach to understand the factors affecting gas demand and to forecast gas consumption by multivariable regression analysis for the capital city of Ankara, Turkey. The process of the study is developing a statistical model and testing the model for the past years to understand how accurate it is. After obtaining the most reliable model, forecasting the gas consumption for the remaining days of 2002 and the year 2005 is performed. During the project, by the means of economical conditi...
Terrain modeling and atmospheric turbulent flow solutions based on meteorological weather forecast data Leblebici, Engin; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2012) In this study, atmospheric and turbulent flow solutions are obtained using meteorological flowfield and topographical terrain data in high resolution. The terrain topology of interest, which may be obtained in various resolution levels, is accurately modeled using structured or unstructured grids depending on whether high-rise building models are present or not. Meteorological weather prediction software MM5, is used to provide accurate and unsteady boundary conditions for the solution domain. Unsteady turb...
Analysis of gas prices for Turkey from 2003-2011 Wilberforce, Kiribaki; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Kalaylıoğlu Akyıldız, Zeynep Işıl; Department of Statistics (2012) This study aimed to construct a forecasting model for gas prices in Turkey using Univariate time series analysis. The best model was developed after assessing the forecasting performances for both Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) model and Exponential Smoothing (ES) model. Firstly, we fitted different combinations of both ARIMA and SARIMA models (from which the best model was chosen) by using the monthly oil prices from January 2003 to December 2011. The ES model was automatically ...
Artificial neural network modeling for forecasting gas consumption Gorucu, FB; Geris, PU; Gumrah, F (Informa UK Limited, 2004-02-01) This study includes an approach to evaluate and forecast gas consumption by Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modeling for the capital city of Ankara, Turkey. ANN models have been trained to perform complex functions in various fields of application including the forecasting process. The process of the study is examining the factors affecting the output and training the ANNs to decide the optimum parameters to be used in forecasting the gas consumption for the remaining days of 2002 and the year 2005. During ...
Numerical modelling of continuous transverse grates for hydraulic efficiency / Sezenöz, Berk; Tiğrek, Şahnaz; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) In this study, numerical analyses of newly proposed grated inlet system for small roads are carried out. The model is based on a setup constructed in Hydromechanics Laboratory of METU. The physical model which is a rectangular channel of 0.9m width acts as a small road and continuous transverse grate system is installed as an inlet structure. The physical conditions were modeled by using Flow 3D software. The rates of the intercepted flows are measured and compared with the results of experimental data coll...
