Abstract
Techniques are described for implementing automated control systems to control operations of specified physical target systems. In some situations, the described techniques include forecasting future values of parameters that affect operation of a target system, and using the forecasted future values as part of determining current automated control actions to take for the target system—in this manner, the current automated control actions may be improved relative to other possible actions that do not reflect such forecasted future values. Various automated operations may also be performed to improve the forecasting in at least some situations, such as by combining the use of multiple different types of forecasting models and multiple different groups of past data to use for training the models, and/or by improving the estimated internal non-observable state information reflected in at least some of the models.
