Random Forest Classifier Based Prediction of Rogue waves on Deep Oceans
share
In this paper, we present a novel approach for the prediction of rogue waves in oceans using statistical machine learning methods. Since the ocean is composed of many wave systems, the change from a bimodal or multimodal directional distribution to unimodal one is taken as the warning criteria. Likewise, we explore various features that help in predicting rogue waves. The analysis of the results shows that the Spectral features are significant in predicting rogue waves. We find that nonlinear classifiers have better prediction accuracy than the linear ones. Finally, we propose a Random Forest Classifier based algorithm to predict rogue waves in oceanic conditions. The proposed algorithm has an Overall Accuracy of 89.57 Balanced Accuracy varies between 79.41 time window. Moreover, due to the model-free nature of the evaluation criteria and interdisciplinary characteristics of the approach, similar studies may be motivated in other nonlinear dispersive media, such as nonlinear optics, plasma, and solids, governed by similar equations, which will allow for the early detection of extreme waves
