The issue of climate change holds immense significance, affecting various aspects of life, including the environment, the interaction between soil conditions and the atmosphere, and agriculture. Over the past few decades, a range of spatio-temporal and Deep Neural Network (DNN) techniques had been proposed within the field of Machine Learning (ML) for climate forecasting, using spatial and temporal data. The forecasting model in this paper is highly complex, particularly due to the presence of nonlinear data in the residual modeling of General Space-Time Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (GSTARIMA), which represented nonstationary data with time and location dependencies. This model effectively captured trends and seasonal data with time and location dependencies. On the other hand, DNNs proved reliable for modeling nonlinear data that posed challenges for spatio-temporal approaches. This research presented a comprehensive overview of the integrated approach between the GSTARIMA model and DNNs, following the six-stage Data Analytics Lifecycle methodology. The focus was primarily on previous works conducted between 2013 and 2022. The review showed that the GSTARIMA–DNN integration model was a promising tool for forecasting climate in a specific region in the future. Although spatio-temporal and DNN approaches have been widely employed for predicting the climate and its impact on human life due to their computational efficiency and ability to handle complex problems, the proposed method is expected to be universally accepted for integrating these models, which encompass location and time dependencies. Furthermore, it was found that the GSTARIMA–DNN method, incorporating multivariate variables, locations, and multiple hidden layers, was suitable for short-term climate forecasting. Finally, this paper presented several future directions and recommendations for further research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The spatiotemporal model consists of stationary and non-stationary data, respectively known as the Generalized Space–Time Autoregressive (GSTAR) model and the Generalized Space–Time Autoregressive Integrated (GSTARI) model. The application of this model in forecasting climate with rainfall variables is also influenced by exogenous variables such as humidity, and often the assumption of error is not constant. Therefore, this study aims to design a spatiotemporal model with the addition of exogenous variables and to overcome the non-constant error variance. The proposed model is named GSTARI-X-ARCH. The model is used to predict climate phenomena in West Java, obtained from National Aeronautics and Space Administration Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources (NASA POWER) data. Climate data are big data, so we used knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) in this study. The pre-processing step is collecting and cleaning data. Then, the data mining process with the GSTARI-X-ARCH model follows the Box–Jenkins procedure: model identification, parameter estimation, and diagnostic checking. Finally, the post-processing step for visualization and interpretation of forecast results was conducted. This research is expected to contribute to developing the spatiotemporal model and forecast results as recommendations to the relevant agencies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
