Popis: Precise and credible runoff forecasting is extraordinarily vital for various activities of water resources deployment and implementation. The neoteric contribution of the current article is to develop a hybrid model (ANFIS-GPR) based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and Gaussian process regression (GPR) for monthly runoff forecasting in the Beiru river of China, and the optimal input schemes of the models are discussed in detail. Firstly, variables related to runoff are selected from the precipitation, soil moisture content, and evaporation as the first set of input schemes according to correlation analysis (CA). Secondly, principal component analysis (PCA) is used to eliminate the redundant information between the original input variables for forming the second set of input schemes. Finally, the runoff is predicted based on different input schemes and different models, and the prediction performance is compared comprehensively. The results show that the input schemes jointly established by CA and PCA (CA-PCA) can greatly improve the prediction accuracy. ANFIS-GPR displays the best forecasting performance among all the peer models. In the single models, the performance of GPR is better than that of ANFIS. HIGHLIGHTS Principal component analysis is used to simplify the prediction factors and improve the prediction accuracy.; The novel contribution of the article is to develop a new hybrid model, i.e., ANFIS-GPR.; The new model (ANFIS-GPR) is more accurate and reliable in predicting the peak discharge.; The research results are more reliable because there is no large water conservancy project in the target basin.;
