Forecasting insect abundance using time series embedding and machine learning by Gabriel R. Palma, Rodrigo F. Mello, Wesley A.C. Godoy, Eduardo Engel, Douglas Lau, Charles Markham, Rafael A. Moral

“…We evaluate the performance of the selected algorithms by looking at the Pearson correlation and Root Mean Squared Error obtained using one-step-ahead forecasting. Based on Random Forests, Lasso-regularised linear regression, and LightGBM regression algorithms, we showed the feasibility of our novel approach, which yields competitive forecasts while automatically selecting insect abundances, climate time series and their lags to aid forecasting.…”
