Predicting the Typhoons in the Philippines Using Radial Basis Function Neural Network

Abstract—Typhoons, also called hurricanes in the Atlantic or North Pacific, are one of the natural disasters that have caused a great amount of damage in the Philippines. A few typhoons have caused the loss of lives and the loss of resources. Over the years, several typhoon prediction models have been created through different ways such as through regression and data mining techniques. This research built a Radial Basis Function Neural Network that would predict typhoons in the Philippines. Historical typhoon data was taken from Philippines Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and the historical weather data of an area in the Northwestern Pacific Basin, specifically Guam, was taken from a source online. Weather and typhoon data for the first 13 years served as training set; the remaining two years served as testing set. The accuracy of the Radial Basis Function Network was tested using cross entropy error and root mean square error. The cross entropy error is 120.941, and the root mean square error is 9.570.

Index Terms—Typhoons, radial basis function neural network, cross entropy error, root mean square error.
