Short summary
The predictive performance of random forests (a machine learning algorithm) and three configurations of Prophet (a method largely implemented in Facebook) is assessed in daily streamflow forecasting in a river in the US. Random forests perform better compared to the utilized benchmarks, i.e. a naïve method and a multiple regression linear model, while Prophet's performance is subject to improvements. Random forests are recommended for daily streamflow forecasting.
