Aiming at the problems that the purpose of the meteorological observation data acquisition is weak, the redundancy of data is high, and the number of single values in the observation data interval is large, the precision of equivalence partitioning is low, an attribute reduction algorithm for Meteorological Observation data Interval-value based on Genetic Algorithm (MOIvGA) was proposed. Firstly, by improving the similarity degree of interval value, the proposed algorithm could be suitable for both single value equivalence relation judgment and interval value similarity analysis. Secondly, the convergence of the algorithm was improved by the improved adaptive genetic algorithm. Finally, the simulation experiments show that the number of the iterations of the proposed algorithm is reduced by 22, compared with the method which operated AGAv (Adaptive Genetic Attribute reduction) algorithm to solve the optimal value. In the time interval of 1 hour precipitation classification, the average classification accuracy of the MOIvGA (λ-Reduction in Interval-valued decision table based on Dependence) algorithm is 6.3% higher than that of RIvD algorithm; the accuracy of no rain forecasting is increased by 7.13%; at the same time, the classification accuracy can be significantly impoved by the attribute subset received by operating the MOIvGA algorithm. Therefore, the MOIvGA algorithm can increase the convergence rate and the classification accuracy in the analysis of interval value meteorological observation data.

With the stringent resources and distributed nature in wireless sensor networks, fault diagnosis of sensor nodes faces great challenges. In order to solve the problem that the existing approaches of diagnosing sensor networks have high false alarm ratio and considerable computation redundancy on nodes, a new fault detection mechanism based on Cumulative Sum Chart (CUSUM) and neighbor-coordination was proposed. Firstly, the historical data on a single node were analyzed by CUSUM to improve the sensitivity of fault diagnosis and locate the change point. Then, the fault nodes were detected though judging the status of nodes by the data exchange between neighbor nodes. The experimental results show that the detection accuracy is over 97.7% and the false alarm ratio is below 2% when the sensor fault probability in wireless sensor networks is up to 35%. Hence, the proposed algorithm has a high detection accuracy and low false alarm ratio even in the conditions of high fault probabilities and reduces the influence of sensor fault probability clearly.
