There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

TITLE: Large Scale Multi-level Model: Solar Energy Prediction Combining Information from Multiple Sources
ABSTRACT:
We propose a hierarchical modeling approach appropriate for a data where the measurements and associated information are taken repeatedly over a large monitoring network. The proposed method is to make improved inferences by dividing a large scale data into manageable sizes and combining them. Our approach also provides a natural and flexible framework for situations where the data are available in different resolution. The proposed method is applied to the solar energy prediction problem for U.S. Department of Energy's SunShot initiative.
