Average is a kind of persistent model for short term forecasts where the forecast values are a constant that is calculated as an average of the most recent measured values. Specify the frame (number of values) used when calculating the average along with the desired resolution of the data when calculating the average (60, 30, 20, 15, 10 or 5 min resolution)

Also, specify, the number of allowed missing hours of data relative to the forecast start date under ‘Search window’. If the program does not find any values within the allowed period, the forecast fails.

 If the program finds measured values within the forecasted period, these will be used as forecast values, and if there are gaps in the data, these will be filled with the last observed measured value.
