In the paper, the work focuses on weather prediction by using real time data
from day to day. Weather Prediction has proven to be a very important application of Machine Learning since the beginning. Different models were studied
and found out ways how prediction could be made more accurate by abandoning the classical models and adopted a hybrid method of including more
than hundred decision trees bagged to form an aggregate total. The aggregate
results achieved from each tree was considered to be a random split of data,
saving a lot of computation time. Gradient Boosting was used to increase accuracy significantly making it a very efficient model to work with. The boosting
helped the weak learner Decision Tree to select a random sample of data, fit
it with a model and train it sequentially to compensate for the weakness of its
predecessor. To improve the accuracy of a model in boosting, a combination of
a convex loss function, which measures the gap between the expected and goal
outputs, and a penalty term for the complexity of the model were used to reduce
a regularized objective function that included both L1 and L2 regression tree
functions. The resulting model achieved a significantly high level of accuracy
when tested with new data.
