Abstract

This paper follows the paper named Comparison of methods for time series data analysis for further use of machine learning algorithms. In previous paper we were dealing with the initial analysis of the time series data from a thermal plant. In this paper we aim at the design of a prediction model with the use of machine learning methods XGBoost and LightGBM. In the first part of this paper we focus at feature engineering where we add supplemental parameters to the existing dataset. In the second part of this paper we are dealing with the performance comparison of the mentioned machine-learning methods XGBoost and LightGBM.
