Incorporating Hourly Convective Cloud data into Tropical Cyclone Rapid Intensification Forecasting with Machine Learning

<p>These models were developed to predict both the probability of RI and the binary RI classification for tropical cyclones. They are a weighted average of probabilities derived from logistic regression, random forest, decision tree, and extremely randomized tree algorithms within the standard Python scikit-learn package. The uploaded files include the hyperparameters and weights for each individual machine learning model.</p>
