Firstly, the chaotic characteristics of monthly runoff in watershed were researched and revealed based on parameter identification of the runoff system. The optimal delay time and embedding dimension of the monthly runoff time series are deduced. Secondly, with the time series of the reconstructed phase space matrix as input variables, an improved AdaBoost. RT algorithm based on self-adaptive dynamic threshold was incorporated to improve the performance of extreme learning machine. Finally, the optimal chaotic ensemble learning model for monthly runoff prediction was obtained. Results showed that the proposed model could evidently improve the generalization and stability of single extreme learning machine model, and thus achieve better prediction performance.
