Evaporation is one of the most important parameters of meteorological science. Therefore, predicting evaporation is necessary for both water resources and planning management. The present study uses Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) based on developed and optimized Kernel Extreme Learning Machine (KELM) models for predicting daily evaporation in different provinces of Iran with different climates. The Water Strider Algorithm, Salp Swarm Algorithm, Shark Algorithm, and Particle Swarm Optimization were combined with the KELM to predict daily evaporation in the Hormozgan, Mazandaran, Fars, Yazd, and Isfahan provinces. The models' inputs were average temperature, rainfall, number of sunny hours, wind speed, and relative humidity. The introducing a new hybrid gamma test for determining the adequate inputs, using hybrid and optimized KELM based on developing ELM for predicting evaporation, integrating individual models for predicting evaporation, and quantifying the uncertainty of outputs are the main innovations of the current study. Multiple error indices were used to evaluate the ability of models for predicting evaporation. The standalone and optimized KELM models were used to predict daily evaporation in the first level. In the next level, the BMA based on outputs of standalone and optimized KELM models predicted daily pan evaporation. The general results indicated that the BMA provided the best accuracy among other models in all stations. This study also introduced the new hybrid gamma test (GT-WSA) for choosing the best input combinations. The hybrid GT-WSA gave the best input combination without computing all input combinations (2(5) - 1). The uncertainty analysis of models also indicated that the uncertainty of BMA and optimized KELM models was lower than that of the KELM model.
