The study is based on secondary data on wholesale monthly/weekly arrivals and prices for the period of 2000-01 to 2009-10. The seasonality in wholesale price was analyzed using multiplicative model; the Fourier analysis was used to analyze cyclical variation in wholesale prices and Autoregressive ...

This f...

In this paper, we describe a scalable data warehousing and OLAP-based engine for analyzing WLRs. We have to address several scalability and performance challenges in developing such a framework. Because an active web site may generate...
