Abstract
Exemplary embodiments are generally directed to methods, mediums, and systems for accounting for extensions or reductions of the period for which a resource (e.g., computer processor time, scientific apparatus, storage units, devices, etc.) is allocated. According to exemplary embodiments, allocation-based aggregated effects of extension and relinquishment are modeled. The modeled effects are used to offset allocation forecasts based on historical data. As a result, the dimensionality of the problem of incorporating in-house data is greatly reduced as compared to other techniques, and allocation forecasts can be made more accurately and efficiently.
