Comparative Analysis and the Progression of Different Machine Learning Models in the field of Meteorology

Abstract: Understanding upcoming weather patterns is extremely important for several different reasons in a community.For instance, weather patterns can hint at upcoming threats to a community such as hurricanes or tornados and give people a proper amount of time to prepare or evacuate the area.Also, weather patterns can give members of the agricultural field notice of rainfall the following day, week, or even month.This allows them to make better grounded decisions in order to produce better produce for their community.Today, numerical weather predictions models serve as the basis for weather predictions for several different weather news sources.However, the recent influx of Machine Learning has made few question whether machine learning models might be a better fit for weather predictions.Machine Learning consists of several different models and algorithms which all perform in different ways.The aim of this research is to compare three different machine learning models in both their accuracy and their progressive learning given more training data by using the field of meteorology as a testbed.The models were given several points of data and expected to return a value predicting whether it would rain the following day with varying amounts of training data.The three different models used were a Logistic Regression, Multilayer Perceptron, and Support Vector Machine models.After
