Abstract

The present study developed a wave height prediction model by the recorded climatic data. We used 1-year buoy data for training and testing the developed soft-computing model. Models were developed using a novel method based on the Support Vector Machine (SVM) coupled with the Firefly Algorithm (FFA). This research work used the FFA for estimating the optimum parameters. In addition, this work compared the predicted results of SVM-FFA model to the artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic programming (GP). The results indicate that the SVM-FFA approach attains an improvement in capability of generalization and predictive accuracy in comparison to the GP and ANN. A thorough statistical analysis was conducted to compare the predictions of three models i.e., among the SVM-FFA, ANN, and GP. A high R 2 value of 0.979 was obtained for the SVM-FFA predictions. Further, the ANN and GP results showed R 2 values of 0.524 and 0.525, respectively. Moreover, achieved results indicate that the developed SVM-FFA model can be used with confidence for future research works on formulating novel models for predictive strategy on wave height. The results also show that the new algorithm can learn thousands of times faster than the former popular learning algorithms. This study finds that the application of SVM-FFA is the likely alternative method for estimating the wave height.
