摘要
Machine learning methods are effective tools for improving short-term climate prediction. However, commonly used methods often carry out classification and regression prediction modeling separately and independently. Such a single modeling approach may obtain inconsistent prediction results in classification and regression and thus may not meet the needs of practical applications well. To address this issue, this study proposes a selective Naive Bayes ensemble model (SENB-EM) by introducing causal effect and voting strategy on Naive Bayes. The new model can not only screen effective predictors but also perform classification and regression prediction simultaneously. After being applied to the area prediction of summer western North Pacific subtropical high (WNPSH) from 2008 to 2021, it is found that the accuracy classification score (a metric to assess the overall classification prediction accuracy) and the time correlation coefficient (TCC) of SENB-EM can reach 1.0 and 0.81, respectively. After integrating the results of different models [including multiple linear regression ensemble model (MLR-EM), SENB-EM, and Chinese Multi-model Ensemble Prediction System (CMME) used by National Climate Center (NCC)] for 2017–2021, the TCC of the ensemble results of SENB-EM and CMME can reach 0.92 (the highest result among them). This indicates that the prediction results of the summer WNPSH area provided by SENB-EM have a high reference value for the real-time prediction. It is worth noting that, except for the numerical prediction results, the SENB-EM model can also give the range of numerical prediction intervals and predictions for anomalous degrees of the WNPSH area, thus providing more reference information for meteorological forecasters. Overall, as a new hybrid machine learning model, the SENB-EM has a good prediction ability; the approach of performing classification prediction and regression prediction simultaneously through integration is informative to short-term climate prediction.
