Congratulations on finishing up your degree in engineering.

As was said in a previous response to your message, it is hard to
give specific help to questions that are not specific.  For
example, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by a predictive
model, and communications is my area of research.  But you
probably won't get research questions answered here anyway since
it is a list for the use of GNU Octave.  As a computer
programming language used by engineers, however, I'm sure that
you'll find it adequate for your needs.

The Octave manual is a good resource for learning how to use
Octave.  It is located at
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/ .

In your searching, since Octave and Matlab are closely
compatible, you might search of people discussing the use of
Matlab for your problem at hand.

Finally, you might find the IT++ project useful:
http://itpp.sourceforge.net/
