Scoring Model Requirement

Model scoring results displayed on the Score Tab are a result of the Score action (Model Actions). This action is based on assists users in selecting a model specification based on alternative scoring models. The scoring models are constructed at a daily frequency, using model specifications that are analogous to the model templates. The scoring models are contained in the MetrixND Score project file. This file is similar to a typical Template project file (Model Template Requirements) except for the critical differences as described below.

Data Tables

Data tables should be defined as for a typical Project file (see specifications above), with the following exception.

The data table devoted to receiving the meter data should be named DailyLoad. When MetrixND projects are accessed by the IDR system, the Load Data table is updated with the load data from the Data Source assigned to the model. Start and End dates for the record set are specified by the MetrixIDR application. The DailyLoad Data table:

• must be present in the .ndm file.
• must be named "DailyLoad".
• should not have a check in the Active Link check box for the variables.
• variable must be named "Energy".
• must contain daily data.

Models

A set of daily models should be specified in the project file. The models should be specified to correspond with the alternative model templates used within the MetrixIDR system:
