Getting Started with the SWAN-SF Data Analysis

Welcome to our GitHub repository!

These notebooks provide a comprehensive workflow, from start to finish, for processing and analyzing the SWAN-SF dataset. They include detailed steps for reading the dataset files, performing full preprocessing, and generating a .pkl file for the processed data. Several missing value imputation techniques are implemented, such as Mean Imputation, Next-value Imputation, and our novel method—Fast Pearson Correlation-based K-nearest Neighbors (FPCKNN) Imputation.

In addition, we address class overlap with the Near Decision Boundary Sample Removal (NDBSR) technique. Various normalization methods are also applied, including Min-Max Scaling, Z-Score Normalization, and our proprietary LSBZM (Log, Square Root, BoxCox, Z-Score, and Min-Max) Normalization technique.

The notebooks further implement multiple over-sampling techniques such as SMOTE, ADASYN, TimeGAN, and Gaussian Noise Injection (GNI), as well as two under-sampling methods: Random Under Sampling and Tomek Links. These preprocessing steps collectively enhance the classification performance for predicting solar flares.

The classification models used include SVM, Random Forest, k-NN, Multilayer Perceptron, LSTM, GRU, RNN, and 1D-CNN, all designed to predict solar flares within a 24-hour window.

By using these files, researchers can significantly reduce the time required—by months—to preprocess the SWAN-SF dataset, while achieving high accuracy in solar flare prediction.

SeriesGAN Architecture

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following:

  • SWAN-SF Dataset: Download it from Harvard Dataverse.
  • Python Packages: Ensure you have these packages installed: pandas, numpy, matplotlib, seaborn, tensorflow, tqdm, pickle, sklearn, scipy, imblearn. The code for timegan is included in the repository, so no additional installation is required for this package.

Setting Up Your Environment

  1. Directory Setup: Modify the following lines in the source code to match your system's directory structure:

    data_dir = "<Your path>/SWANSF/Downloaded_Data/"  
data_dir_save = "<Your path>/SWANSF/code/"

  2. Sequential Execution: Start from Notebook 1 and proceed in order. Each notebook relies on the data prepared in the previous steps.

Notebooks Overview

  • Notebook 1: Reads SWAN-SF samples and combines them into a single .pkl file (time series samples) and a .csv file (labels for each partition).
  • Notebook 2: Focuses on Missing Value Imputation, utilizing data from Notebook 1.
  • Notebook 3: Centers on Near Decision Boundary Sample Removal.
  • Notebook 4 & 5: Concentrate on Normalization.
  • Notebook 6: Offers Visualizations of the dataset.
  • Notebook 7 & 8: Implement Classification using eight classifiers.
  • Notebook 9: Applies Over-sampling techniques.
  • Notebook 10: Combines Over- and Under-sampling techniques.
  • Notebook 11, 12, & 13: Apply preprocessing techniques post-sampling (Normalization).
  • Notebook 14, 15, 16, & 17: Implement Classification using eight classifiers after Sampling.
  • Notebook 18: Presents Final Visualizations.
