Abstract. Occurrences of devastating wildfires have been on the rise in the United States for the past decades. While the environmental controls, including weather, climate, and fuels, are known to play important roles in controlling wildfires, the interrelationships between fires and the environmental controls are highly complex and may not be well represented by traditional parametric regressions. Here we develop a model integrating multiple machine learning algorithms to predict gridded monthly wildfire burned area during 2002–2015 over the South Central United States and identify the relative importance of the environmental drivers on the burned area for both the winter-spring and summer fire seasons of that region. The developed model is able to alleviate the issue of unevenly-distributed burned area data and achieve a cross-validation (CV) R2 value of 0.42 and 0.40 for the two fire seasons. For the total burned area over the study domain, the model can explain 50 % and 79 % of interannual total burned area for the winter-spring and summer fire season, respectively. The prediction model ranks relative humidity (RH) anomalies and preceding months’ drought severity as the top two most important predictors on the gridded burned area for both fire seasons. Sensitivity experiments with the model show that the effect of climate change represented by a group of climate-anomaly variables contributes the most to the burned area for both fire seasons. Antecedent fuel amount and conditions are found to outweigh weather effects for the burned area in the winter-spring fire season, while the current-month fire weather is more important for the summer fire season likely due to the controlling effect of weather on fuel moisture in this season. This developed model allows us to predict gridded burned area and to access specific fire management strategies for different fire mechanisms in the two seasons.

In this paper, we investigate analysis and prediction of the time-dependent data. We focus our attention on four different stocks are selected from Yahoo Finance historical database. To build up models and predict the future stock price, we consider three different machine learning techniques including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Support Vector Regression (SVR). By treating close price, open price, daily low, daily high, adjusted close price, and volume of trades as predictors in machine learning methods, it can be shown that the prediction accuracy is improved.

Diagnostic Detection

Accurate diagnostic detection of the disease in a patient is critical and may alter the subsequent treatment and increase the chances of survival rate. Machine learning techniques have been instrumental in disease detection and are currently being used in various classification problems due to their accurate prediction performance. Various techniques may provide different desired accuracies and it is therefore imperative to use the most suitable method which provides the best desired results. This research seeks to provide comparative analysis of Support Vector Machine, Naïve bayes, J48 Decision Tree and neural network classifiers breast cancer and diabetes datsets.
