Title: Spatially-coupled hidden Markov models for short-term wind speed forecasting
Abstract: Using wind speed time series data collected from meteorological stations, we will show how to use hidden Markov models to describe the multiple patterns we see in the data over time. We will also show how to extend this model to show that locations close to one another are likely to exhibit similar patterns over time.
