Analysis of rainfall classification over Tanah Laut disrict based on global climate indicators using support vector machine method
Abstract The Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification method can be applied in various fields, one of which is meteorology and climatology in rainfall forecasting. Thus, a study was conducted by classifying rainfall to recognize the relationship between global phenomena and rainfall and the results of applying the classification using the SVM method to rainfall in the Tanah Laut Regency. The analysis is carried out using the SVM Multiclass concept with 4 categories of rainfall classification: low, medium, high, and Extreme. The kernel used in SVM is the RBF kernel with optimization parameters used, namely Cost (C) 1,5,10,15 and Gamma (γ) 1,5,10,15. The dataset formed is based on the annual period, climatic conditions, and seasonality. The Spearman Rank correlation test describes the relationship between global phenomena and rainfall with a correlation range of (−0.1456 ) − (0.43144) for the entire dataset. The implementation of the SVM classification method shows that the Cost (C) 10 and Gamma (γ) ≥ 5 parameters obtained the highest accuracy of 100% on the training data. In contrast, in testing the data testing, the accuracy was good, namely the accuracy of 78.00% in La Nina and 81.38% in seasonal periods.
