Efficient data access is essential for sharing massive amounts of data with many geographically distributed collaborators. Better data routing and transfers are possible for large data transfers by accurate estimations of the network traffic performance with a probabilistic tolerance. Such estimations become non-trivial when amounts of network measurement data grow in unprecedented speed and volumes, and mis-speicifed models are given. We present a statistical prediction method for network traffic performance by analyzing network traffic patterns and variation with the network conditions via the Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMMs), which relax the distributional assumption to that only involving the mean and variance of the errors. The method allows 鈥渂orrowing strength鈥?in the data by adopting fixed effects for shared relationship, random effects for subject variation, and errors for additional unexplained variation. The main contributions of the proposed method include: (1) best prediction accuracy even under a model misspecification; and (2) least computation time among all existing predicative algorithms under the GLMM setting. |
