Abstract

In this paper, linear regression model is evaluated to find the monthly average global radiation on flat surface for the city Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India, by collecting the data from meteorological station. Six empirical models are evaluated from the Angstrom–Prescott and performance is being compared in between estimated and measured monthly average global radiation. Several statistical test is performed to check the validation of models in term of coefficient of correlation (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), mean bias error (MBE), and the t-stat. The results are within acceptable limits R2 as 0.99, RMSE as 2.343, MBE as 2.272, and t-stat with 13.177 shows the superiority of proposed model.
