Soft computing approach for predicting OPEC countries’ oil consumption

Human activities in todays modern world would not be possible without energy. The energy consumed by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has increased significantly. In this paper, a soft computing method is proposed for predicting oil consumption in OPEC countries. The sign...
