Machine Learning-Based Classification of Convective and Stratiform Precipitation from GPM-DPR Dual-Frequency Signatures in the Amazon Basin — Supporting Data, Code and Saved Models
Oct 2026· Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
Abstract
This record provides supporting data, Python code, saved models and numerical results for the Amazon Basin GPM-DPR precipitation-type classification study. The release comprises a ZIP archive and a separate compressed CSV containing 360,000 observations and 227 columns. The ZIP includes 18 preserved study scripts, a portable main-analysis launcher, 20 saved model objects, test features and predictions, numerical evaluation results, SHAP summaries, bootstrap outputs, processed surface-rainfall context collocations, recorded software versions and an analysis-specific seed register. Model training uses observations from 2021–2023, model and decision-threshold selection uses 2024, and locked temporal testing uses 2025. The classification target is the operational GPM-DPR convective/stratiform precipitation-type label. Surface-rainfall products provide contextual comparisons rather than independent precipitation-type ground truth. Original third-party source archives are not redistributed. Archived local model checks are documented; a fresh clean-environment installation and full retraining were not performed during release preparation. The included numerical SHAP matrix was recomputed for verification and is distinct from the original matrix underlying the historical beeswarm plot. The supporting files are publicly available for research and reproducibility checks.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The results show that the embedded industry has been able to apply agile methods in its development processes and that the appreciation of the agile methods and their individual practices appears to increase once adopted and applied in practice.

Requirements in large systems rarely exist in isolation. Their meaning depends on the wider project context - other requirements, policies, decisions, tests, and implementation details. That becomes especially important when AI is used for review, because spotting a possible conflict or gap is only the beginning. ReqSpace explores how AI, visualisation, and connected project context can help reviewers understand those findings, trace the relationships behind them, and focus on the questions that…
AI is making software generation faster, but speed does not remove the need for expertise. As more work is delegated to AI, tacit knowledge may become one of the most important human advantages in software engineering.
