Fit a Linear Regression Model

Read Data from the Weather Station ThingSpeak Channel

ThingSpeak channel 12397 contains data from the MathWorks® weather station, located in Natick, Massachusetts. The data is collected once every minute. Field 3 and 4 contain humidity and temperature data, respectively. Read the data over the last day from channel 12397 using the thingSpeakRead function.

data = thingSpeakRead(12397,'NumDays',1,'Fields',[3 4],'outputFormat','table');

Calculate Linear Regression Model

Describe linear relationship between a response (humidity) and one or more predictive terms (temperature). For example, 'Humidity ~ 1 + TemperatureF' describes a two-variable linear model relating humidity with temperature along with an intercept.

mdl = fitlm(data, 'Humidity~TemperatureF')

mdl = 


Linear regression model:
    Humidity ~ 1 + TemperatureF
