Data-driven flow forecasting models, such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), are increasingly used for operational flood warning systems. In this research, we systematically evaluate different machine learning techniques (random forest and decision tree) compare them with classical methods of the NAM rainfall run-off model Vésubie River, Nice, France. The modeled network is trained tested using discharge, precipitation, temperature, evapotranspiration data about four years (2011–2014). A...
