I'm working on multiple linear regression for energy analysis.. I have attached my data (graph - original & smoothing). Since the original data is highly fluctuated, so, I want to do smoothing and do regression after that.. Is my method acceptable?
Your current averaging method has obviously chunked out a lot of information from the original data. If you must average out the fluctuations in your data, you may consider using a moving window average where you can control the number of neighbours. Kind regards, Jamiu
