Journal ArticleDOI
Toward Reliable Benchmarking of Solar Flare Forecasting Methods
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite X-ray flares and McIntosh group classifications from solar cycles 21 and 22 to calculate average flare rates for each McIntosh class and use these to determine Poisson probabilities for different flare magnitudes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar Flare Prediction Using Advanced Feature Extraction, Machine Learning, and Feature Selection
TL;DR: It is found that a reduced set of six MF properties can achieve a similar degree of prediction accuracy as the full set of 21 SMART MF properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of flare forecasting methods, I: Results from the 'All-Clear' Workshop
G. Barnes,K. D. Leka,Carolus J. Schrijver,Tufan Colak,Rami Qahwaji,Omar W Ashamari,Yuan Yuan,Jie Zhang,R. T. J. McAteer,D. S. Bloomfield,Paul A. Higgins,Peter T. Gallagher,David A. Falconer,David A. Falconer,Manolis K. Georgoulis,Michael S. Wheatland,C. Balch,T. Dunn,Eric Wagner +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a number of existing algorithms was compared on common data sets, specifically line-of-sight magnetic field and continuum intensity images from MDI, with consistent definitions of what constitutes an event.

Journal ArticleDOI
Solar magnetic feature detection and tracking for space weather monitoring
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an automated system for detecting, tracking, and cataloging emerging active regions throughout their evolution and decay using SOHO Michelson Doppler Interferometer (MDI) magnetograms.
