Abstract

This paper is a second follow-up to “Green, Part One” and “Green Part Two.” In Part One the topic of Interrupted Time Series (ITS) is used to develop a multiple regression model to predict the usage of electricity at the author’s home. In the second paper a multiple regression model is developed to predict water usage in the home. The third paper is a follow-up paper after some of the data in the second paper was found to be spurious. This third paper not only cleans up the bad data, but looks at the proper usage of ITS versus a simple dummy variable. All three papers reveal our continued effort to save the planet by using less of its natural resources. The case is presented as a tutorial for a complex and real world student case.
