Appliances-Energy-Prediction

This is a project for house appliances' load forecasting, using 3 different models:

A simple linear regression A SVM-based regression model A decision trees (random forest)

as data used the house's temperature, humidity and weather conditions from UCI. DOWNLOAD THE DATA SET HERE: https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Appliances+energy+prediction

The project includes:

1. Feature Engineering
2. Train 3 different models on the data
3. Model Evaluation & Selection
4. Parameter Tuning
5. Model Persistence

Data Set Information

The data set is at 10 min for about 4.5 months. The house temperature and humidity conditions were monitored with a ZigBee wireless sensor network. Each wireless node transmitted the temperature and humidity conditions around 3.3 min. Then, the wireless data was averaged for 10 minutes periods. The energy data was logged every 10 minutes with m-bus energy meters. Weather from the nearest airport weather station (Chievres Airport, Belgium) was downloaded from a public data set from Reliable Prognosis (rp5.ru), and merged together with the experimental data sets using the date and time column. Two random variables have been included in the data set for testing the regression models and to filter out non predictive attributes (parameters).
