Time Series Analysis On The Total NEPA Energy Consumed By M.O.U.A.U From 1996-199

ABSTRACT

This project work studies the total NEPA energy consumed by M.O.U.A.0 from 1996 — 1999. The ultimate aim is to design a mathematical model that could be used to obtain a reliable or dependable estimate of energy consumed. The method of simple descriptive time series analysis was 52a50raa1 effog.ts W. The trend was moving downwards, there was seasonal effects too. The trend and the se,asonal components were use for forecast.
