Abstract
I use empirical data and multidimensional polynomial approximation to create a model that predicts tunnel outturn cost(O) given tunnel face area (f), length (l), depth (d), density of geology (r), with a certain error. I discuss the limitations of my methods and make recommendations for improving outturn cost prediction models.
