abstract = "This paper evaluates the performance of different classifiers when
predicting wind speed from synoptic pressure patterns. The prediction
problem has been formulated as a classification problem, where the
different classes are associated to four values in an ordinal scale. The
problem is relevant for long term wind speed prediction and also for wind
speed reconstruction in areas (mainly wind farms) where there are not
direct wind measures available. The results obtained in this paper present
the Support Vector Machine as the best tested classifier for this task. In
addition, the use of the intrinsic ordering information of the problem is
shown to improve classifier performance",
