Multi-step Prediction of Monthly Sediment Concentration Based on WPT-ARO-DBN/WPT-EPO-DBN Model by GAO Xuemei, CUI Dongwen

“…Accurate multi-step sediment concentration prediction is of significance for regional soil erosion control,flood control and disaster reduction.To improve the multi-step prediction accuracy of sediment concentration and the prediction performance of the deep belief network (DBN),this paper proposes a multi-step prediction model of monthly sediment concentration by combining the artificial rabbit optimization (ARO) algorithm,eagle habitat optimization (EPO) algorithm,and DBN based on wavelet packet transform (WPT).The model is validated using time series data of monthly sediment concentration from Longtan Station in Yunnan Province.Firstly,WPT is employed to decompose the time series data of the monthly sediment concentration of the case in three layers,and eight more regular subsequence components are obtained.Secondly,the principles of ARO and EPO algorithms are introduced,and hyperparameters such as the neuron number in the hidden layer of DBN are optimized by ARO and EPO.Meanwhile,WPT-ARO-DBN and WPT-EPO-DBN prediction models are built,and WPT-PSO (particle swarm optimization)-DBN and WPT-DBN are constructed for comparative analysis.Finally,four models are adopted to predict each subsequence component,and the predicted values are superimposed to obtain the multi-step prediction results of the final monthly sediment concentration.The results are as follows.① WPT-ARO-DBN and WPT-EPO-DBN models have satisfactory prediction effects on the monthly sediment concentration of the case from one step ahead to four steps ahead.This yields sound prediction results for five steps ahead.The prediction effect for six steps ahead and seven steps ahead is average,and the prediction accuracy for eight steps ahead is poor and cannot meet the prediction accuracy requirements.② The multi-step prediction performance of WPT-ARO-DBN and WPT-EPO-DBN models is superior to WPT-PSO-DBN models and far superior to WPT-DBN models,with higher prediction accuracy,better generalization ability,and larger prediction step size.③ ARO and EPO can effectively optimize DBN hyperparameters,improve DBN prediction performance,and have better optimization effects than PSO.Additionally,WPT-ARO-DBN and WPT-EPO-DBN models can give full play to the advantages of WPT,new swarm intelligence algorithms and the DBN network and improve the multi-step prediction accuracy of monthly sediment concentration,and the prediction accuracy decreases with the increasing prediction steps.…”
