Abstract

The K-nearest neighbor (KNN) classifier employs distance metrics to measure the distance between the test instance and the samples used in training. With smaller samples, the KNN classifier achieves higher accuracy with low computational time. However, computing the distance between the test instance and all training samples to determine the class of the test instance requires higher computational time for a high-dimensional dataset. This research employs sequential feature selection (SFS) to select the optimal feature for diabetes prediction while reducing the computational time complexity of the KNN classifier. The KNN classifier showed effectiveness with an accuracy rate of 84.41% with nine features. The performance of the KNN improves by 2.6% when trained on the optimal features selected with the SFS. The result revealed glucose level, blood pressure (BP), skin thickness (ST), diabetes pedigree function (DPF), age, and body mass index (BMI) as the most representative features in diabetes prediction. The KNN classifier gives higher accuracy with these features. However, insulin and the number of times a woman is pregnant do not show a significant effect on the KNN classifier.

Abstract

The growing reliance on renewable energy has intensified the need for accurate solar power forecasting to support efficient grid operation and energy planning. However, reliable prediction remains challenging due to the strong dependence of solar power output on dynamic meteorological conditions. This study proposes a data-driven machine learning (ML) framework for high-precision solar power prediction across several major Indian metro cities. Using hourly weather and power generation data for the year 2023, a random forest regressor was developed to model complex non linear relationships between environmental variables and solar energy output. The proposed model achieved exceptional predictive performance, with an R² score of 0.9999 and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.15 kW, significantly outperforming conventional regression approaches. Feature contribution analysis revealed solar radiation as the dominant factor influencing power generation, while cloud cover and elevated temperatures exhibited negative effects. The key contribution of this work lies in demonstrating the robustness and generalizability of ensemble learning for urban-scale solar forecasting under diverse climatic conditions. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers, grid operators, and energy planners to optimize solar integration and resource management.
