The air temperature is a vital measuring variable widely applied in science and engineering as it is considered one vital part of the lives of plants and animals. From the point of view of time series analysis and data-driven modeling, changes in daily 24h air temperature can be described as one time-series data. Compared to relatively complicated models, simple, efficient and of even better performance are advantages of data-driven-based concise modeling methods, especially for embedded applications which usually have limited resources such as low RAM and low processing power. This study takes the perspective of data-driven modeling and time-series analysis to present one succinct and efficient solution based on discrete cosine transform (DCT)-extended modeling for the hourly air temperature forecast (HTF) in engineering and embedded applications. Characteristics of the DCT lie in optimal de-correlation and energy compaction. Orienting upon extended-DCT modeling, one concise least-squares (LS)-extended DCT predictive algorithm for the HTF is introduced. Then one Mbed-based embedded system design utilizing the proposed LS-extended DCT predictive algorithm as well as theoretical analyses and fast computation of arbitrary length DCT is presented. Verification results indicate the suitability of the proposed predictive algorithm. Only the temperature data without other parameters being straightly employed in forecast modeling is one major advantage of the proposed data-driven DCT-based HTF method, which benefits it to be suitable for engineering and embedded applications.
