Project Objective

This code evaluates and compares the influence of various climatic variables (temperature, pressure, humidity, wind characteristics, sunshine, cloud cover, evapotranspiration, soil moisture) on rainfall. By applying Relative Weights Analysis (RWA), iopsych relative weights, relimp (relative importance in linear regression), and Random Forest variable importance, it identifies which predictors contribute most to rainfall variability. The approach provides a robust understanding of the dominant climatic drivers, allowing researchers to prioritize variables for predictive modeling and better interpret their impact on rainfall patterns. The comparison across multiple methods ensures the reliability and consistency of variable importance assessments.
