Paper Abstract
Radial Basis Function neural networks (RBFNN) have been used for tracking precipitation in weather imagery.
Techniques presented in the literature used RBFNN to model precipitation as a combination of localized envelopes
which evolve over time. A separate RBFNN was used to predict future values of the evolving envelope parameters
considering each parameter as a time series. Prediction of envelope parameters is equivalent to forecasting the
associated weather events. Recently, the authors proposed an alternative RBFNN-based approach for modeling
precipitation in weather imagery in a computationally efficient manner. However, the event prediction stage
was not investigated, and thus any possible trade-off between efficiency and forecasting effectiveness was not
examined. In order to facilitate such a test, an appropriate prediction technique is needed. In this work, an
RBFNN series prediction scheme explores the dependence of envelope parameters on each other. Although
different approaches can be employed for training the RBFNN predictor, a computationally efficient subset
selection method is adopted from past work, and adjusted to support parameter dependence. Simulations are
presented to illustrate that simultaneous prediction of the precipitation event parameters may be advantageous.
