Folks,
How would you approach this problem
I have a dependent variable x (in this case the probability of
occurrence of a plant disease) which can be explained by a bunch of
independent variables x(i) ( in this case, weather data,eg
Tair,Precip,Wind,soilmoisture, etc).I have a large dataset of plant
disease probability and the corresponding weather data.
How would I build a model of this relationship, like y=f(x(1-i)),
linear, cubic, polynomial?
- neuronal networks would be an approach but there is no tool for it in
IDL (as far as I know)
- wavelets: could this used for it? if yes, any hints?
Thanks four your comments in advance...
D.

Well I would like to predict, new future results, where I will predict
the variable x.

I do not know IDL, but judging from this document:
http://www.ittvis.com/idl/pdfs/IDL63_FuncSum.pdf
...I'd be surprised if one couldn't cobble together a logistic
regression. If IDL isn't providing what you need, though, I'd suggest
considering another tool.
