This study will provide the audience with an understanding of the capabilities of soft tools such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Model Trees (MT), and Multi-Gene Genetic Programming (MGGP) as a statistical downscaling tool. Many projects are underway around the world to downscale the data from Global Climate Models (GCM). The majority of the statistical tools have a lengthy downscaling pipeline to follow. To improve its accuracy, the GCM data is re-gridded according to the grid points of the observed data, standardized, and, sometimes, bias-removal is required. The current work suggests that future precipitation can be predicted by using precipitation data from the nearest four grid points as input to soft tools and observed precipitation as output. This research aims to estimate precipitation trends in the near future (2021-2050), using 5 GCMs, for Pune, in the state of Maharashtra, India. The findings indicate that each one of the soft tools can model the precipitation with excellent accuracy as compared to the traditional method of Distribution Based Scaling (DBS). The results show that ANN models appear to give the best results, followed by MT, then MGGP, and finally SVR. This work is one of a kind in that it provides insights into the changing monsoon season in Pune. The anticipated average precipitation levels depict a rise of 300–500% in January, along with increases of 200-300% in February and March, and a 100-150% increase for April and December. In contrast, rainfall appears to be decreasing by 20-30% between June and September.

2. Algorithms
What is an algorithm?
An algorithm is a finite set of precise instructions for performing a
computation or for solving a problem.
3. Algorithms
Properties of algorithms:
• Input from a specified set,
• Output from a specified set (solution),
• Definiteness of every step in the computation,
• Correctness of output for every possible input,
• Finiteness of the number of calculation steps,
• Effectiveness of each calculation step and
• Generality for a class of problems.
4. Pseudocode
An algorithm can also be described using a computer language.
Understanding an algorithm is complicated and difficult.
Algorithm can be translated into any programming language. As
many programming languages are in common use, so instead of
using a particular computer language to specify algorithms, a form
of Pseudocode, will be used in this book.
Pseudocode provides an intermediate step between an English
language description of an algorithm and an implementation of this
algorithm in a programming language.
5. Pseudocode
Algorithm 1: Finding the Maximum Element in a Finite Sequence.
procedure max(a1, a2, . . . , an: integers)
max := a1
for i := 2 to n
if max < ai then max := ai
return max{max is the largest element}
7. Linear Search:
It is also called sequential search. It searches an element
sequentially by comparing the searching element with each
element in the list one by one.
procedure linear search(x: integer, a1, a2, . . . , an: distinct integers)
i := 1
while (i ≤ n and x ≠ ai )
i := i + 1
if i ≤ n then location := i
else location := 0
return location {location is the subscript of the term that equals x,
or is 0 if x is not found}
11. Binary Search:
Binary Search algorithm is used to search an element from a list of
elements.
This algorithm can be used when the list has terms occurring in
increasing order.
It proceeds by comparing the element to be located to the middle
term of the list.
The list is then split into two smaller sub lists of same size, or one of
these smaller lists has one fewer term than other.
The search continues by restricting the search to the appropriate
sub lists based on the comparison of the element to be located and
the middle term.
12. Binary Search:
procedure binary search (x: integer, a1, a2, . . . , an: increasing integers)
i := 1{i is left endpoint of search interval}
j := n {j is right endpoint of search interval}
while i < j
m :=
if x > am then i := m + 1
else j := m
if x = ai then location := i
else location := 0
return location{location is the subscript i of the term ai equal to x, or 0 if x is not
found}
13. Binary Search:
Search 18 from sequence 2 , 3 , 5 , 8 , 10 , 15 , 18 , 30
i m j
2 3 5 8 10 15 18 30
As 18>8 and i<j so
i m j
2 3 5 8 10 15 18 30
As 18>15 and i<j so
i m j
2 3 5 8 10 15 18 30
Element found at location 7
14. Binary Search:
Search 3 from sequence 2 , 3 , 5 , 8 , 10 , 15 , 18 , 30
i m j
2 3 5 8 10 15 18 30
As 3<8 and i<j so
i m j
2 3 5 8 10 15 18 30
Element found at location 2
15. Binary Search:
Search 6 from sequence 2 , 3 , 5 , 8 , 10 , 15 , 18 , 30
i m j
2 3 5 8 10 15 18 30
As 6<8 and i<j so
i m j
2 3 5 8 10 15 18 30
6>3 and i<j so
i m j
2 3 5 8 10 15 18 30
6>5 and i<j
i m j
2 3 5 8 10 15 18 30
As i=j so element not found in the list
16. Sorting
Sorting is putting the elements into a list in which the elements are in
increasing order.
17. Bubble Sort:
The bubble sort is one of the simplest sorting algorithms, but not one
of the most efficient.
It puts a list into increasing order by successively comparing
adjacent elements, interchanging them if they are in the wrong
order.
To carry out the bubble sort, we perform the basic operation that is,
interchanging a larger element with a smaller one following it,
starting at the beginning of the list, for full pass.
We iterate this procedure until the sort is complete.
18. Bubble Sort:
procedure bubblesort(a1, . . . , an : real numbers with n ≥ 2)
for i := 1 to n − 1
for j := 1 to n − i
if aj > aj+1 then interchange aj and aj+1
{a1, . . . , an is in increasing order}
22. Insertion Sort:
Insertion Sort is a simple sorting algorithm, but it is usually not the most
efficient.
To sort a list with n elements, the insertion sort begins with the second
element.
This second element is compared with the first element and inserted
before the first element if it is smaller than the first element and after
the first element if it is greater than the first element.
At this point, the first two elements are in correct order.
The third element is then compared with the first element, and if it is
larger than the first element, it is compared with the second element,
it is inserted into the correct position among the first three elements
and so on.
23. Insertion Sort:
procedure insertion sort(a1, a2, . . . , an: real numbers with n ≥ 2)
for j := 2 to n
i := 1
while aj > ai
i := i + 1
m := aj
for k := 0 to j − i − 1
aj−k := aj−k−1
ai := m
{a1, . . . , an is in increasing order}
