| Summary: | A correlation between cosmic ray intensity with 11 solar and interplanetary
parameters has been made. We used modulation of cosmic ray intensity observed
at four different stations with different latitude and cut-off rigidity. PLS method was
used to rank parameters and will be compared to PCA method. PLS methods results
show that the parameters sunspot number, IMF, HCS, and plasma velocity
contribute a more substantial influence on the modulation of cosmic ray intensity
in all cases and all stations based on the magnitude of the first component. In case
of the influence of CME halo type, the important parameters were sunspot number,
IMF, HCS, CME speed, and proton density. During solar energetic particle event,
the significance parameters were sunspot number, IMF, HCS, SPEs, and plasma
velocity. The fourth case was tested using the PCA method and show similar result
with PLS method. Sunspot number, IMF, HCS, CME speed, and proton density
parameters are strong parameter making effect cosmic ray modulation. We also
tried to analyze it at the PSNM station and got different results. The By, Bx, and
cone angle parameters are strong in influencing cosmic ray intensity modulation in
both methods. This is possible because the influence of these parameters on cosmic
ray modulation depends on the latitude. These results will be analyzed using the
MHD simulation method. The experimental MHD simulation was carried out in
Carrington Rotation (CR) 2009 and 2179 where in CR 2009 there was a Halloween
storm while CR 2179 was to cover data from PSNM stations. As a result, the
parameters density, speed, and magnetic field have a clearer correlation than
temperature to cosmic rays. This strengthens the evidence that most cosmic ray
variations are influenced by the strong parameter.
