Accuracy and Bias In general‚ a set of forecasts will be considered to be accurate if the forecast errors‚ that is‚ the set of et values which results from the forecasts‚ are sufficiently small. The next section presents statistics based on the forecast errors‚ which can be used to measure forecast accuracy. In thinking about forecast accuracy‚ it is important to bear in mind the distinction between error and noise. While related‚ they are not the same thing. Noise in the demand data is real and

Algebra/Trig Review Introduction This review was originally written for my Calculus I class but it should be accessible to anyone needing a review in some basic algebra and trig topics. The review contains the occasional comment about how a topic will/can be used in a calculus class. If you aren’t in a calculus class you can ignore these comments. I don’t cover all the topics that you would see in a typical Algebra or Trig class‚ I’ve mostly covered those that I feel would be most useful for

Photosynthesis and Semi-Conductor based Solar Cells Plants‚ by shear desire to survive have developed the worlds most efficient and reliable power supply by way of photosynthesis. Scientist for years have tried unsuccessfully to duplicate the process of photosynthesis. However‚ for the purpose of this paper‚ I will compare and contrast how energy and electricity is generated through photosynthesis and a semi-conductor based solar cell. In addition‚ this paper will explain how both processes

Ideals of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution were both rooted from the desire to abolish absolute authority‚ ensure the natural rights of men‚ and develop a stable government. Napoleon Bonaparte‚ a prominent military general and French Emperor‚ strived for these political ideologies‚ but was corrupt in his way of approaching them.

The existence of a lower limit to temperature was known prior to Lord Kelvin‚ as shown in "Reflections on the Motive Power of Heat"‚ published by Sadi Carnot in French in 1824‚ the year of Lord Kelvin’s birth. "Reflections" used −267 as an estimate of the absolute zero temperature. Absolute temperatures are stated in units of kelvin in his honour. On his ennoblement in
