A. TAMILMANI , M. SUGHASINY
Abstract
Precipitation in any form—such as rain, snow, and hail—can affect day-to-day outdoor activities. Rainfall prediction is one of the challenging tasks in weather forecasting process. Accurate rainfall prediction is now more difficult than before due to the extreme climate variations. Machine learning techniques can predict rainfall by extracting hidden patterns from historical weather data. Selection of an appropriate classification technique for prediction is a difficult job. In this research work, Gain Ratio and Differential Evolution hybridized for choosing the most relevant features. Once, the suitable features subset is obtained, the classification algorithm called Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and other classifiers are adopted, that could classify the info in the manner that is effective the selected features.
