NetDemand: net electricity demand between 11:30am and 12am.
wM: instantaneous temperature, averaged over several English cities.
wM_s95: exponential smooth of wM, that is wM_s95[i] = a*wM_s95[i-1] + (1-a)*wM[i] with a=0.95
Posan: periodic index in [0, 1] indicating the position along the year.
Dow: factor variable indicating the day of the week.
Trend: progressive counter, useful for defining the long term trend.
NetDemand.48: lagged version of NetDemand, that is NetDemand.48[i] = NetDemand[i-2].
