Forecasting summer rainfall over India using genetic algorithm

Monthly rainfall Forecasting using genetic programming and support vector machine

Rainfall and runoff estimation play a fundamental and effective role in the management and proper operation of the watershed, dams and reservoirs management, minimizing the damage caused by floods and droughts, and water resources management. The optimal performance of intelligent models has increased their use to predict various hydrological phenomena. Therefore, in this study, two intelligent...

Forecasting GDP Growth Using ANN Model with Genetic Algorithm

Applying nonlinear models to estimation and forecasting economic models are now becoming more common, thanks to advances in computing technology. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) models, which are nonlinear local optimizer models, have proven successful in forecasting economic variables. Most ANN models applied in Economics use the gradient descent method as their learning algorithm. However, t...

Forecasting All-india Summer Monsoon Rainfall Using Regional Circulation Principal Components: a Comparison between Neural Network and Multiple Regression Models

Pre-monsoon principal components (PCs) of circulation fields covering the South Asian subcontinent were used as predictors for all-India summer monsoon rainfall (AISMR) over the period 1958–1993. Predictive skill of non-linear neural network models and linear multiple regression models was compared using a bootstrap-based resampling procedure. Monsoon precursor signals represented by PCs were i...

Statistical Forecasting of Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall: An Enduring Challenge

Optimized scenario for rainfall forecasting using genetic algorithm coupled with artificial neural network

Rainfall forecasting plays many important role in water resources studies such as river training works and design of flood warning systems. Recent advancement in artificial intelligence and in particular techniques aimed at converting input to output for highly nonlinear, non-convex and dimensionalized processes such as rainfall field, provide an alternative approach for developing rainfall for...
