UCI: Forest fires

This is a difficult regression task, where the aim is to predict the burned area of forest fires, in the northeast region of Portugal, by using meteorological and other data. This data set is sourced from the UCI Machine Learning Repository.

Attribute information:

X - x-axis spatial coordinate within the Montesinho park map: 1 to 9
Y - y-axis spatial coordinate within the Montesinho park map: 2 to 9
month - month of the year: "jan" to "dec"
day - day of the week: "mon" to "sun"
FFMC - FFMC index from the FWI system: 18.7 to 96.20
DMC - DMC index from the FWI system: 1.1 to 291.3
DC - DC index from the FWI system: 7.9 to 860.6
ISI - ISI index from the FWI system: 0.0 to 56.10
temp - temperature in Celsius degrees: 2.2 to 33.30
RH - relative humidity in %: 15.0 to 100
wind - wind speed in km/h: 0.40 to 9.40
rain - outside rain in mm/m2 : 0.0 to 6.4
area - the burned area of the forest (in ha): 0.00 to 1090.84 (this output variable is very skewed towards 0.0, thus it may make sense to model with the logarithm transform).
