This article presents a study that explores forecasting methods for multivariate time series data, which was collected from sensors monitoring CO2, temperature, and humidity. The article covers the preprocessing stages, such as dealing with missing values, data normalization, and organizing the time-series data into a suitable format for the model. This study aimed to evaluate Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), and Random Forest performance in terms of forecasting different environmental dataset parameters. After implementing and testing fifteen different sensor forecast model combinations, it was concluded that the Long Short-Term Memory and Vector Autoregression models produced the most accurate results. The highest accuracy for all models was achieved when forecasting temperature data with CO2 and humidity as inputs. The least accurate models forecasted CO2 levels based on temperature and humidity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
