Abstract

Simple, naive, smart or clearness persistences are tools largely used as naive predictors for the global solar irradiation forecasting. It is essential to compare the performances of sophisticated prediction approaches with that of a reference approach generally a naive methods. In this paper, a new kind of naive nowcaster is developed, a persistence model based on the stochastic aspect of measured solar energy signal denoted stochastic persistence and constructed without needing a large collection of historical data. Two versions are proposed: one based on an additive and one on a multiplicative scheme; a theoretical description and an experimental validation based on measurements realized in Ajaccio (France) and Tilos (Greece) are exposed. The results show that this approach is efficient, easy to implement and does not need historical data as the machine learning methods usually employed. This new solar irradiation predictor could become an interesting tool and become a new member of the solar forecasting family.

Two deep learning-based bias-correction pathways improve summer precipitation prediction over China

Fenghua Ling, Yue Li, Jing-Jia Luo, Xiaohui Zhong, Zhibin Wang

Summary: As most global climate models have large biases in simulating summer precipitation over China, it is crucial to develop suitable bias-correction methods. This study proposes two pathways of bias-correction with deep learning models incorporated, namely the deterministic pathway (DP) and the probability pathway (PP). The applications of deep learning models in both pathways improve the resolution of corrected predictions compared to the uncorrected ones and enhance summer precipitation predictions at a 4-month lead. The DP correction performs better in predicting extreme precipitation, while the PP is proficient in correcting the spatial pattern of precipitation anomalies over China.

Machine learning and IoTs for forecasting prediction of smart road traffic flow

Sun Chuanxia, Zhang Han, Yin Peixuan

Summary: This paper proposes a study on predicting traffic accidents based on IoTs and deep learning to address the problem of current inaccurate traffic accident predictions. Traditional traffic accident prediction methods often apply classical prediction algorithms to a small portion of data, resulting in models that can only predict a limited range of traffic accidents. Most accident prediction models lack data features, do not consider practical application scenarios, and do not incorporate regional heterogeneity, leading to poor prediction accuracy. This paper analyzes and summarizes the relationship between traffic accidents and influencing factors from five aspects, and proves the influence of regional heterogeneity on accidents, paving the way for traffic accident prediction. The data and heterogeneous spatial data are preprocessed and feature selected, respectively. Logistic regression and random forest algorithm are used to train the corresponding prediction models. The results show that the prediction model combined with regional heterogeneity has better comprehensive performance than the original data.

Causal Classification: Treatment Effect Estimation vs. Outcome Prediction

Carlos Fernandez-Loria, Foster Provost

Summary: The goal of causal classification is to identify individuals whose outcome would be positively changed by a treatment. This study explores the feasibility of using outcome prediction instead of treatment effect estimation for causal classification, and finds that in certain situations, outcome prediction may actually perform better. The theoretical analysis and simulations demonstrate when outcome prediction is preferable, such as when data on counterfactuals are limited or when there is correlation between outcomes and treatment effects.
