Attempt to validate the fuel price estimates generated in #1766:

  • Calculate the predicted aggregate MMBTU weighted fuel prices, and compare them against the available reported fuel price aggregates. Hopefully the predicted aggregate values are close to those reported, or at least not systematically biased high or low.
  • Compare the aggregate + predicted residuals vs. directly predicted prices in data rich regions to verify that the residual predictions are comparable in quality to the more straightforward method in an area with lots of data.
  • Knock out a large region of the country and try to predict its prices based on learned price variations from other regions, plus the aggregate values, to provide some confidence that inter-regional residuals are informative.
