Information gain-based modular fuzzy neural network to forecast rainstorms

This study considers large-scale heavy rainfall as a forecast object based on the European central numerical forecast model product and uses a nonlinear fuzzy neural network (FNN) intelligent calculation method to establish a short-term forecast model of rainstorms. The information gain method is in...

description This study considers large-scale heavy rainfall as a forecast object based on the European central numerical forecast model product and uses a nonlinear fuzzy neural network (FNN) intelligent calculation method to establish a short-term forecast model of rainstorms. The information gain method is introduced to the predictor processing of the forecast model. Then the characteristics of many rainstorm predictors are calculated and screened on the basis of feature weight, information is condensed, some non-correlated forecast information variables are extracted, and the network structure of the forecast model is optimized. The modeled samples are determined and reconstructed by setting thresholds, and the modular forecast models of heavy rainfall and weak rainfall are established. The actual forecast results of the 24 h experimental prediction of the independent samples of large-scale rainstorms in Guangxi in 2012–2016 showed that the information gain-based modular FNN rainstorm forecasting model has higher prediction accuracy and a more stable forecasting effect.
