Greetings!

As part of my research project I am using R to study temperature data
collected by a network. Each node (observation point) records temperature of
its surroundings throughout the day and generates a dataset. Using the
recorded datasets for the past 7 days I need to build a prediction model for
each node that would enable it to check the observed data against the
predicted data. How can I derive an equation for temperature using the
datasets?
The following is a subset of one of the datasets:-

     Time              Temperature

07:00:17.369668   17.509
07:03:17.465725   17.509
07:04:17.597071   17.509
07:05:17.330544   17.509
07:10:47.838123   17.5482
07:14:16.680696   17.5874
07:16:46.67457     17.5972
07:29:16.887654   17.7442
07:29:46.705759   17.754
07:32:17.131713   17.7932
07:35:47.113953   17.8324
07:36:17.194981   17.8324
07:37:17.227013   17.852
07:38:17.809174   17.8618
07:38:48.00011     17.852
07:39:17.124362   17.8618
07:41:17.130624   17.8912
07:41:46.966421   17.901
07:43:47.524823   17.95
07:44:47.430977   17.95
07:45:16.813396   17.95

I think you/we need much more information.

Are you really trying to build a model that predicts the temperature just given the time of day?

Given that you're in NY, I'd say 12pm in August sure feels much different than 12pm in February, no?

Or are you trying to predict what one sensor readout would be at a particular time given readings from other sensors at the same time?

Or ... ?
