Submissions are evaluated by calculating the [mean squared error (MSE)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_squared_error) between the predicted values for the target variable and the ground truth values of the target variable, over the evaluation period. The target variable is the "RETURN TEMPERATURE CHILLED WATER" with filename "B205WC000.AM02". The evaluation period consists of June 2025 (folder "RBHU-2025-06") for the "public test set" and July 2025 (folder "RBHU-2025-07") for the "private test set" with a sampling period of 10 minutes, see below for details. 

Additional evaluation criteria apply, see above.


## Submission File

Note that the submission file creation can be done by the functions already given in the [example code](https://github.com/boschresearch/elias_aifbo). For each datetime (the "ID") in the period from June to July 2025, in 10 minute steps, you have to predict the target variable's value. The submission file should contain a header and have the following format:

    "ID","TARGET_VARIABLE"
    "2025-06-01_00:00:00","..."
    "2025-06-01_00:10:00","..."
    "2025-06-01_00:20:00","..."
    ...
    "2025-07-31_23:30:00","..."
    "2025-07-31_23:40:00","..."
    "2025-07-31_23:50:00","..."
