Single GPs prediction for Carbon Intensity - Results

Taking the first 14 days as a training data set (from 27/06/2011 to 10/07/2011), I apply Single GPs to predict Carbon Intensity for the UK in the next 30 days (from 11/07/2011 to 10/08/2011). It generates a result, which can be seen from the picture below:

Single GPs for Carbon Intensity in the UK from 27/06/2011 to 11/08/2011.

I use the constant hyperparameter set of [-1.1112; -0.4744; 9.7377; -0.2624; -0.6790; -0.2624; -0.5132; -0.8945; -1.1858; -0.8945; -2.9447] to generate this result. The Mean Squared Error (MSE) for this period is 2233.

Moving on to the user consumption prediction, the file of user's consumption has two column: date&time, and the usage. The user usage is recorded every two minutes, as a result each day supposed to contain 720 values. However, there are some values missing in some specific days. For example, in 'ecenergy23@ecs.soton.ac.uk.csv', it only has 712 values on 09/09/2011 (8 values missing), and 719 values on 11/09/2011 (1 value missing). It could be more because I have not checked them all.

Thus, to apply GPs for user consumption, we firstly need to fill the missing value to make sure that it has a full 720 values for each day. Currently, the date & time column is in a format of 'dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss'. We might need to convert the time, which is "hh:mm:ss" to the number of minutes for that day. The value now should be "dd/mm/yyyy A", where A = hh * 60 + mm (we do not consider seconds as it is always zero value). The x-axis now can be represented by A/1440.
