“…Given the estimated statistical model, spectrum occupancy prediction at future instances is achievable. Such models examine several statistical techniques with a major literature focus on Markov processes [10,45], Poisson processes [12,13], Bayesian models [9,14], neural networks [5,11,46], linear regression [15,16], space vector machine [47], pattern mining [48,49], and dictionary-based prediction [9]. In a sequential prediction framework, these techniques represent different parametrised predictor classes.…”
