Long description:

"Predictive Climate Models and Stochastic Hydrology with Neural Networks" explores advanced time series modeling for forecasting hydrological processes. The book focuses on rainfall prediction in Junagadh using a 32-year climatic dataset. Various models like ARMA, ANN, ANFIS, and Hybrid Wavelet-ANN are applied and assessed for their forecasting efficacy over one-year, five-year, and ten-year periods. Statistical tests such as Chi-square, Anderson, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov identify the best-fit probability distributions. The performance of ARIMA configurations for short-term forecasts and the effectiveness of algorithms in ANN and ANFIS models are detailed, highlighting their superiority in long-term rainfall prediction. This work is vital for those in hydrology and climate science, demonstrating how machine learning enhances predictive accuracy in stochastic hydrology.
