Abstract
ABSTRACT This study explores the use of gene expression programming (GEP) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) to estimate flood index values based on the unit flood response (UFR) method in two adjacent watersheds (Ardak and Kardeh) located in northeast Iran. The performances of the studied data-driven models were compared according to certain statistical measures such as Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). The findings indicate that GEP models were more accurate than ANNs (RMSE = 0.0986 vs. 0.1512 for Ardak and RMSE = 0.1024 vs. 0.1112 for Kardeh, respectively). Another advantage of the GEP models was providing an explicit relationship between flood index values and physical attributes. As flood index values derived via the UFR method were close to each other, flood contribution area maps were developed using a geographic information system (GIS) to consider uncertainty. Then, fusion algorithms including ordinary averaging, linear regression, and GEP were applied to develop a flexible regional model.
摘要:本研究探讨了利用基因表达编程(GEP)和人工神经网络(ann)基于单位洪水响应(UFR)方法估算伊朗东北部两个相邻流域(Ardak和Kardeh)的洪水指数值。根据一定的统计指标,如均方根误差(RMSE),比较了所研究的数据驱动模型的性能。结果表明,GEP模型比人工神经网络更准确(Ardak的RMSE = 0.0986 vs. 0.1512, Kardeh的RMSE = 0.1024 vs. 0.1112)。GEP模型的另一个优点是提供了洪水指数值与物理属性之间的明确关系。由于通过UFR方法得到的洪水指数彼此接近,因此使用地理信息系统(GIS)开发洪水贡献区图,以考虑不确定性。然后,应用普通平均、线性回归和GEP等融合算法建立柔性区域模型。
