Abstract

The equatorial region has high rainfall because it is located near the equator, where the sun produces very high energy throughout the year. This impacts biological habitats, the global water cycle, and people's everyday life. Accurate rainfall information is important for disaster mitigation, air resources management, and climate modeling. This study calculated estimated rainfall in an area with an equatorial rain pattern in Pontianak, Indonesia. The method applied is a comparison using four machine learning algorithms: Decision Tree, Random Forest, Adaptive Boosting, and Gradient Boosting. This comparison aims to get the estimated value of rainfall. The Decision Tree algorithm produces an accuracy value of RMSE of 0.693 and an R2 correlation of 0.449; Random Forest produces an RMSE of 0.642 and an R2 of 0.527; Adaptive Boosting produces an RMSE of 0.725 and R2 of 0.395, and Gradient Boosting produces RMSE of 0.561 and R2 of 0.638. It was concluded that the Gradient Boosting algorithm could provide the best rainfall estimation in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia.
