The invention belongs to the technical field of
data processing, and discloses an LSTM neural network cycle hydrological forecasting method based on
mutual information, which comprises the following steps: screening and classifying
original data through
mutual information analysis, and taking rainfall,
reservoir water level and flow hydrological characteristics as input characteristics of a long-term and short-
term memory cycle forecasting model; the long-term change of flood is reflected by simulating rainfall
process training and determining the structure of the LSTMC model; and verifying the output of the model by using the actual flood data. According to the method, the
data set is analyzed by adopting a
mutual information-based method, the flow at the current moment and each hydrological characteristic of the previous longer time period are fully captured, and the input characteristics of the model are dynamically selected. According to the method, the
deep learning algorithm is utilized, the cyclic prediction model based on the LSTM neural network is adopted, when the method is used for
flood flow time series prediction, the problem that the hydrological change process is greatly influenced by factors in the earlier stage is solved, and effective features can be automatically captured well.
