Seabreeze Prediction Using Bayesian Networks,
In Proceedings of the 4th Pacific-Asia Conference on
Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (PAKDD'01),
Hong Kong, pp. 148-153, 2001.In this paper we examine the use of Bayesian networks (BNs) for improving weather prediction, applying them to the problem of predicting sea breezes. We compare a preexisting Bureau of Meteorology rule based system with an elicited BN and others learned by two data mining programs, TETRAD II [Spirtes et al., 1993] and Causal MML [Wallace and Korb, 1999]. These Bayesian nets are shown to significantly outperform the rule based system in predictive accuracy.
