Comparative Evaluation of Statistical, Machine‐Learning, and Deep‐Learning Models for Construction Sand and Gravel Price Forecasting: A Synthetic‐Data, Simulation‐Based Benchmark
You Wu, Peng Li, Jing Zhang, Fengsheng Guo, Danshu Hu, Wei He, et al.
ABSTRACT Forecasting construction sand and gravel prices is critical for infrastructure cost control, yet reliable comparisons among model families in the small‐sample, multidriver setting typical of regional markets are lacking. This study benchmarks eight algorithms—Ridge regre…
