Cover Story: Time-series prediction of a river stage during typhoons or storms is essential for flood disaster prevention. This study presents a multistep-ahead framework involving Bayesian optimization to construct data-driven prediction models based on four ML techniques, namely, support vector regression (SVR), random forest regression (RFR), multilayer perceptron regression (MLPR), and light gradient boosting machine regression (LGBMR) for river stage forecasting. The four models were applied to simulate river stage hydrographs of the tidal reach of the Lan-Yang River Basin in northeastern Taiwan. The results revealed that the LGBMR model could efficiently and accurately predict the 1–6 h river stage in the tidal river. View this paper
