Prediction of data not sent to the sink node is a technique used to save energy in WSNs by reducing the amount of data traffic. However, sensor devices must run simple mechanisms due to its constrained resources, which may cause unwanted errors and this may not be very accurate. This work proposes a method based on multivariate spatial and temporal correlation to improve prediction accuracy in data reduction for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Simulations were made involving simple linear regression and multiple linear regression functions to assess the performance of the proposed method. The results show a higher correlation between gathered inputs when compared to variable time, which is an independent variable widely used for prediction and forecasting. Prediction accuracy is lower when simple linear regression is used, whereas multiple linear regression is the most accurate one. In addition to that, the proposed solution outperforms some current solutions by about 50% in humidity prediction and 21% in light prediction.
