There were missing values in 52.6% of the data, which were handled by a hybrid random forest approach and bootstrap method (RF-Bs). The present approach addresses large missing values and also reduces the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) in the search for the optimum minimal value. Cluster analysis was used to classify stations or grid points into different rainfall regimes. Hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) of rainfall data reveal the pattern of behavior of the rainfall regime in a specific region by identifying homogeneous clusters. According to the HCA, four distinct and homogenous regions were recognized. Then, the principal component analysis (PCA) technique was used to homogenize the rainfall series and optimally reduce the long-term rainfall records into a few variables. Moreover, PCA was applied to monthly rainfall data in order to validate the results of the HCA analysis. On the basis of the 75% of cumulative variation, 14 factors for the Dry season and the Rainy season, and 12 factors for the Inter-monsoon season, were extracted among the components using varimax rotation. Consideration of different groupings into these approaches opens up new advanced early warning systems in developing recommendations on how to differentiate climate change adaptation- and mitigation-related policies in order to minimize the largest economic damage and taking necessary precautions when multiple hazard events occur.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi10100689","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,14]],"date-time":"2021-10-14T09:10:49Z","timestamp":1634202649000},"page":"689","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Regionalization of Rainfall Regimes Using Hybrid RF-Bs Couple with Multivariate Approaches"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Muhamad Afdal","family":"Ahmad Basri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science and Mathematics, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Tanjong Malim, Perak 35900, Malaysia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8243-5646","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shazlyn Milleana","family":"Shaharudin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science and Mathematics, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Tanjong Malim, Perak 35900, Malaysia"}]},{"family":"Kismiantini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, Yogyakarta 55281, Indonesia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3939-0336","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mou Leong","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GeoInformatic Unit, Geography Section, School of Humanities, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Gelugor, Pulau Pinang 11800, Malaysia"}]},{"given":"Sumayyah Aimi","family":"Mohd Najib","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Geography and Environment, Faculty of Human Sciences, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Tanjong Malim, Perak 35900, Malaysia"}]},{"given":"Nurul Hila","family":"Zainuddin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science and Mathematics, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Tanjong Malim, Perak 35900, Malaysia"}]},{"given":"Sri","family":"Andayani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, Yogyakarta 55281, Indonesia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1751","DOI":"10.3390\/w7041751","article-title":"General rainfall patterns in Indonesia and the potential impacts of local season rainfall intensity","volume":"7","author":"Lee","year":"2015","journal-title":"Water"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"331","article-title":"Management strategy of water resources base on rainfall characteristics in the semi-arid region in Indonesia","volume":"8","author":"Messakh","year":"2015","journal-title":"Int.
