A new forecasting method called SPALT has been developed to model spatio-temporal locality in time series data from geo-referenced sensors. Unlike existing approaches that treat spatial dimensions globally, SPALT focuses on grouping time series with similar trends, even across different times, to capture local spatial relationships. The method utilizes linear model trees and a novel pruning strategy to improve multi-step forecasting for multiple sensors simultaneously, demonstrating superior performance over existing tree-based models and neural networks in experiments with real-world energy production data.
