During large magnetic storm the geomagnetically induced current has a negative impact on ground conducting
technology system. The time derivative of horizontal and northern component of geomagnetic field (dH/dt,
dX/dt) is greater than 30nT/min for induced current causing undesirable consequence in power grids. Multiple
regression analyses were developed to predict level of geomagnetic disturbance using time derivatives of
horizontal geomagnetic field, northern component of time derivatives of geomagnetic field, east and north
component of geoelectric field, auroral electrojet and disturbance storm time from 1994- 2007 at low and
subauroral latitudes. The statistical test RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) and MBE (Mean Bias Error) were
employed to evaluate the accuracy of the geomagnetic disturbance. Different variables have been used to
develop different types of models. There are high values of correlation coefficient and coefficient of
determination which gives good results and with also low statistical indicator. The equations produced the
best correlations at subauroral and low latitudes, the best correlation is obtained with low values of RMSE and
