\section{Forecasting Accuracies during Peak Times} \label{peak_results} This appendix shows all result tables from the main text with the MASE averages calculated from time steps within peak times. Peaks are the times of the day where the typical customer has a lunch or dinner meal and defined to be either from 12 pm to 2 pm or from 6 pm to 8 pm. While the exact decimals of the MASEs differ from the ones in the main text, the relative ranks of the forecasting methods are the same except in rare cases. \begin{center} \captionof{table}{Top-3
