La modélisation autorégressive (AR) pour l'analyse et la prédiction de séries temporelles a toujours suscité un intérêt important en raison de sa simplicité conceptuelle[. Elle utilise] un modèle de régression linéaire dans lequel le signal est expliqué par ses échantillons passés plutôt que par d'autres valeurs, permettant par là même de prédire des valeurs futures. 2, record 1, French, - mod%C3%A9lisation%20autor%C3%A9gressive

Weather forecasting has progressed through three phases-single observer forecasting, the synoptic approach and the current application of computers. The three phases overlap and each still has its part in the overall scheme.... Single observer forecasting... is limited by the amount of information used. We only know what is happening at one location and weather systems can travel great distances-1500 miles or more in 24 hours is not unknown. Experience coupled to observation is very useful but still just one... For thousands of years it was the only possible technique... 5, record 4, English, - single%20station%20forecasting

Types of technique used, for example, in technological forecasting, which begin with a consideration of the likely future structure and needs of society, and then consider the developments necessary to create that structure and meet those needs. On the other hand, exploratory forecasting techniques make projections based on present knowledge of a technology or product without trying to take into account the likely overall future picture. Particular techniques of technological forecasting include brain-storming, the Delphi approach, morphological research, the scenario writing approach, and technological trend extrapolation. 1, record 7, English, - normative%20forecasting%20technique
