Multivariate time series and regression models for forecasting annual maintenance costs of EPDM roofing systems

The scope of this study focuses on developing and comparing the performances of Vector Autoregession (VAR) time series and multivariate linear regression (MLR) models in predicting the annual maintenance costs of Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) roofing systems. To accomplish the objective of this study, two prediction models that utilized VAR time series and MLR methodologies were developed to enable a comparison of their performances. …
