Abstract: In the field of food production, it is an important and difficult job to maintain water sources for major population centres and reduce the risk of flooding, to forecast rainfall reliably and accurately. Accurate and genuine forecasts of rainfall on monthly and seasonal time scales help to provide beneficiaries with knowledge on the control of water supplies, farm forecasting and integrated crop insurance applications. Present rainfall prediction is the challenging task for the researchers and most of the rainfall prediction techniques are fail in accuracy. For this we propose a new effective hybrid approach for forecasting and classifying rainfall using the neural network and ACO method. The collected rainfall data were preprocessed by filling missing data and normalized by min-max normalization, the processed data is given to various classifiers for evaluating its performance. The performance of the existing and proposed models is compared. Performance comparison of existing feed-forward, cascade-forward and pattern recognition NN classifier and the proposed ACO+feed-forward backpropagation, ACO+ cascade-forward backpropagation and ACO+ pattern recognition NN classifier are done. The entire HNN forecasting protocol consists of pre-processing and choosing the input vector and maximising the number of hidden nodes using ACO and ANN modelling.

Keywords: Pattern recognition; ant colony optimization; artificial neural network; rainfall prediction; feed-forward; cascade-forward; data processing
