A methodology integrating correlation, regression (MLR), machine learning (ML), and pattern analysis of long-term weekly net ecosystem exchange (NEE) datasets are applied to four deciduous broadleaf forest (DBF) sites forming part of the AmeriFlux (FLUXNET2015) database. Such analysis effectively characterizes and distinguishes those DBF sites for which long-term NEE patterns can be accurately predicted using...
