| Abstract | A discussion pertaining to the use of the electronic computer for developing multiple regression formulas to be used in water supply forecasting for the rivers of Montana. The economics of using the electronic computers, to save man-hours, increase accuracy and have available a better selection of independent variables for use in the formula is brought out. Cost figures of manually operated calculators and the electronic computer handling the same, problem are shown.Discussion by Robert T. Davis indicates a confirmation of the economic value of using electronic computers for developing forecasting formulas. A step-by-step program for the computer is described and its benefits shown. |
