How I Spent My Day | 26-06-2025

Hello guys,
I welcome you all to my blog. It is another beautiful day of the week, and I'm delighted to share with you how I spent my day. A diary is a way to help me keep track of my daily activities and also help me keep track of my progress.

Yesterday, I was supposed to be at the lab for a meeting with Professor Celesine regarding one of the major projects the centre is handling. However, after carefully considering the limited time I have to ensure that my assessment is finished, I decided to stay back at home and work on the task.

So when I woke up that very morning, I did all I could do, such as tidying the entire place, preparing breakfast, and a lot more. Immediately, I was done with all of that. I took my bath, and then I sat on my system and started working on it.

I was on my system for a very long time because I was troubleshooting the entire system to handle the errors coming up with the models. The first thing I noted was the limited data fetched by the OpenWeatherMap API, which wasn't good enough to train machine learning models.

That made me change the dataset used in the analysis because, aside from the real-time data from the API, I also added secondary data from Kaggle, which made the data reasonable enough to be trained for machine learning and the hybrid ARIMA-ML model.

In my findings after the analysis, I noticed that ARIMA, which is a statistical model, performed well only on linear relationships but performed very poorly in complex data or non-linear relationships, where we may have lots of weather data combined for measurement.

The ML and the hybrid model performed better in the non-linear relationship, but the hybrid was the best. So at the end, I was able to write the chapter that involved analysis and discussion. I'm still on it because I have a few charts that need a clearer explanation.

After a long time working on the system, I decided to rest my head a little because it has been a stressful day for me. So that was how I spent my day. See you all in my next publication.
