How have you accounted for - Flights getting delayed and Airlines fixing the issue - during your model training. If you haven't accounted for this, I assume the precision wouldn't be good for the future data.
- iancassidy6 8y agoThe model currently only takes weather forecasts from Dark Sky into account for predicting future flight delays. We are working on integrating actual flight status as well as inbound status into an ensembled prediction. In testing the model on real time data, we've been able to forecast delays as far as 24 hours in advance due to bad weather affecting airports!
- pjsg 8y agoI just checked on UA2154 LAX->BOS for today. United is already saying that there is a 150 minute delay (probably due to the weather) and upside is saying probably a 30-60 minute delay. [I picked this flight as I had to pick up someone at BOS last week at about 0115 in the morning. Ugh!]
