Modelling the Errors of EIA’s Oil Prices and Production Forecasts by the Grey Markov Model

Grey theory is about systematic analysis of limited information. The Grey-Markov model can improve the accuracy of forecast range in the random fluctuating data sequence. In this paper, we employed this model in energy system. The average errors of Energy Information Administrations predictions for...
