Abstract

Prediction of daily global solar radiation  with simple and highly accurate models would be beneficial for solar energy conversion systems. In this paper, we proposed a hybrid machine learning methodology integrating two feature selection methods and a Bayesian optimization algorithm to predict H in the city of Fez, Morocco. First, we identified the most significant predictors using two Random Forest methods of feature importance: Mean Decrease in Impurity (MDI) and Mean Decrease in Accuracy (MDA). Then, based on the feature selection results, ten models were developed and compared: (1) five standalone machine learning (ML) models including Classification and Regression Trees (CART), Random Forests (RF), Bagged Trees Regression (BTR), Support Vector Regression (SVR), and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP); and (2) the same models tuned by the Bayesian optimization (BO) algorithm: CART-BO, RF-BO, BTR-BO, SVR-BO, and MLP-BO. Both MDI and MDA techniques revealed that extraterrestrial solar radiation and sunshine duration fraction were the most influential features. The BO approach improved the predictive accuracy of MLP, CART, SVR, and BTR models and prevented the CART model from overfitting. The best improvements were obtained using the MLP model, where RMSE and MAE were reduced by 17.6% and 17.2%, respectively. Among the studied models, the SVR-BO algorithm provided the best trade-off between prediction accuracy (RMSE=0.4473kWh/m²/day, MAE=0.3381kWh/m²/day, and R²=0.9465), stability (with a 0.0033kWh/m²/day increase in RMSE), and computational cost.

Abstract

Continuous and reliable monitoring of water quality is critical for early detection of environmental deterioration, yet conventional monitoring approaches are often slow and lack timely data availability. This study proposes an intelligent and explainable internet of things (IoT)–Edge–Cloud architecture to monitor water quality in real time, using IoT sensing, edge based artificial intelligence (Edge AI), cloud-stream processing, and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). The system calculates the water quality index (WQI) directly at the edge and predicts its evolution using a stacking ensemble model trained on physicochemical measurements taken from the Moulouya River Basin in Morocco. An explainability module based on Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) values gives a clearer image of the contribution of various parameters to WQI predictions, providing transparency of the features, which builds trust in the model’s output. The proposed architecture was implemented as an end-to-end prototype and validated using a simulation-based experimental that mimicked realistic sensor dynamics and connectivity interruptions. The experimental results show strong predictive performance (R² =0.945), stable system operations, and reliable interpretability highlighting the potential of the proposed approach for scalable, intelligent, and transparent environmental monitoring.
