1. A method implemented in a computer system having a processor, memory accessible to the processor, and executable program code accessible to the processor, the method comprising:

  • storing in the memory data defining a plurality of sequential events, each event identified by three coordinate values, the three coordinate values being day of year, hour of day and resource usage;

    generating from the stored coordinate values by execution of the program code by the processor a three dimensional topologic surface by plotting the resource usage against the day of the year and the hour of the day in a three dimensional space;

    generating by execution of the program code by the processor a polynomial equation defining said topologic surface wherein the polynomial equation expresses the resource usage as a twelfth degree polynomial function of day of year, hour of day with each independent variable having a highest degree of six, said polynomial equation having a set of calculated coefficients; and

    storing said coefficients in the memory.
