An integrated intelligent technique for monthly rainfall time series prediction

Abstract

This paper proposes a methodology to create an interpretable fuzzy model for monthly rainfall time series prediction. The proposed methodology incorporates the advantages of artificial neural network, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm. In the first step, the differences between the time series data are calculated and they are used to define the interval between the membership functions of a Mamdani-type fuzzy inference system. Next, artificial neural network is used to develop the model from input-output data and the established model is then used to extract the fuzzy rules. The parameters of the created fuzzy model are then optimized by using genetic algorithm. The proposed model was applied to eight monthly rainfall time series data in the northeast region of Thailand. The experimental results showed that the proposed model provided satisfactory prediction accuracy when compared to other commonly-used prediction models. Due to the interpretability nature of the model, human analysts can gain insight knowledge of the data to be modeled.

Kombinasi Logika Fuzzy dan Jaringan Syaraf Tiruan untuk Prakiraan Curah Hujan Timeseries di Area Puspo – Jawa Timur

“…Permasalahan utama dalam hal analisis dan prakiraan adalah tingkat kesalahan yang semakin meningkat dari waktu ke waktu. Hal ini dapat terjadi karena kondisi ketidakpastian juga meningkat seiring dengan perubahan musim dan iklim (Kajornrit et al, 2014;Patel and Parekh, 2014;Wilks, 1998). Ini merupakan tugas yang rumit karena semua keputusan yang akan diambil di bidang meteorologi adalah suatu hal yang tidak pasti.…”
