Multi-Output Linear Regression Model for Real-Time Prediction of Agricultural Environmental Indices in Smart Farming Applications
摘要
This study aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of predictive models for key agricultural indices in smart farming. Leveraging the growing role of technology, we developed a multi-output linear regression model and trained it on a multidimensional dataset that incorporates environmental and soil parameters, including air humidity, temperature, soil moisture, atmospheric pressure, pH, and light intensity. A notable aspect of this work is its ability to predict multiple indices simultaneously, capturing interdependencies (e.g., temperature and humidity) to support real-time agricultural monitoring and management. To ensure consistency, the time-series data were normalized and converted to Unix time, enabling flexible integration with various management systems. After preprocessing, the model achieved high performance (R² = 0.98, MAE = 0.76). We discuss the model’s strengths, limitations, and comparative evaluations against other algorithms, and suggest future directions, including data expansion, index enhancement, IoT integration, and real-time deployment.
