Floods are some of the most destructive and catastrophic disasters worldwide. Development management plans needs a deep understanding likelihood magnitude future flood events. The purpose this research was to estimate flash susceptibility in Tafresh watershed, Iran, using five machine learning methods, i.e., alternating decision tree (ADT), functional (FT), kernel logistic regression (KLR), multilayer perceptron (MLP), quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA). A geospatial database including...
Predicting and mapping fire susceptibility is a top research priority in fire-prone forests worldwide. This study evaluates the abilities of Bayes Network (BN), Naïve (NB), Decision Tree (DT), Multivariate Logistic Regression (MLP) machine learning methods for prediction across Pu Mat National Park, Nghe An Province, Vietnam. The modeling methodology was formulated based on processing information from 57 historical fires set nine spatially explicit explanatory variables, namely elevation,...
Flash floods are one of the most devastating natural hazards; they occur within a catchment (region) where response time drainage basin is short. Identification probable flash flood locations and development accurate susceptibility maps important for proper management region. With this objective, we proposed compared several novel hybrid computational approaches machine learning methods mapping, namely AdaBoostM1 based Credal Decision Tree (ABM-CDT); Bagging (Bag-CDT); Dagging (Dag-CDT);...
Groundwater potential maps are one of the most important tools for management groundwater storage resources. In this study, we proposed four ensemble soft computing models based on logistic regression (LR) combined with dagging (DLR), bagging (BLR), random subspace (RSSLR), and cascade generalization (CGLR) techniques mapping in Dak Lak Province, Vietnam. A suite well yield data twelve geo-environmental factors (aspect, elevation, slope, curvature, Sediment Transport Index, Topographic...
Flooding is a natural disaster that causes considerable damage to different sectors and severely affects economic social activities. The city of Saqqez in Iran susceptible flooding due its specific environmental characteristics. Therefore, susceptibility vulnerability mapping are essential for comprehensive management reduce the harmful effects flooding. primary purpose this study combine Analytic Network Process (ANP) decision-making method statistical models Frequency Ratio (FR),...
In the present study, gully erosion susceptibility was evaluated for area of Robat Turk Watershed in Iran. The assessment performed using four state-of-the-art data mining techniques: random forest (RF), credal decision trees (CDTree), kernel logistic regression (KLR), and best-first tree (BFTree). To best our knowledge, KLR CDTree algorithms have been rarely applied to modeling. first step, from 242 locations that were identified, 70% (170 gullies) selected as training dataset, other 30%...
We generated high-quality shallow landslide susceptibility maps for Bijar County, Kurdistan Province, Iran, using Random Forest (RAF), an ensemble computational intelligence method and three meta classifiers—Bagging (BA, BA-RAF), Subspace (RS, RS-RAF), Rotation (RF, RF-RAF). Modeling validation were done on 111 locations 20 conditioning factors tested by the Information Gain Ratio (IGR) technique. assessed model performance with statistically based indexes, including sensitivity,...
This research was conducted to determine which areas in the Robat Turk watershed Iran are sensitive gully erosion, and define relationship between erosion geo-environmental factors by two data mining techniques, namely, Random Forest (RF) k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN). First, 242 locations we determined field surveys mapped ArcGIS software. Then, twelve gully-related conditioning were selected. Our results showed that, for both RF KNN models, altitude, distance roads, from river had highest...
Floods are among the devastating natural disasters that occurred very frequently in arid regions during last decades. Accurate assessment of flood susceptibility mapping is crucial sustainable development. It helps respective authorities to prevent as much possible their irreversible consequences. The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) spatial resolution one most base layer factors for modeling Flood Probability Maps (FPMs). Therefore, main objective this study was assess influence DEMs 12.5 m...
Gully erosion destroys agricultural and domestic grazing land in many countries, especially those with arid semi-arid climates easily eroded rocks soils. It also generates large amounts of sediment that can adversely impact downstream river channels. The main objective this research is to accurately detect predict areas prone gully erosion. In paper, we couple hybrid models a commonly used base classifier (reduced pruning error tree, REPTree) AdaBoost (AB), bagging (Bag), random subspace...
