Core capabilities

Pricing analysis

The system can analyze petrochemical product prices across different markets in detail:

Market forecasting

import numpy as np
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor

class PetrochemicalPricePredictor:
    def __init__(self):
        self.model = RandomForestRegressor(n_estimators=100)
        
    def predict_prices(self, market_data):
        """
        Forecast future prices from market data
        """
        features = self.extract_features(market_data)
        prediction = self.model.predict(features)
        return prediction
