Model

Spatial handling

Temporal model

Key strengths/limitations

ARIMA/SARIMA3,13

None

Linear autoregression

Simple, interpretable; no spatial coupling

Kalman Filter14

None

State-space dynamics

Good for noisy data; spatially agnostic

SVR17

Manual features

Kernel regression

Nonlinear; requires feature engineering

Random Forest18

Manual features

Ensemble of trees

Robust to noise; no end-to-end spatial learning

GBM/XGBoost19

Manual features

Gradient boosting

High accuracy; long training, no explicit graph
