Land use and land cover (LULC) classification using satellite images is an important approach to monitor changes on earth. To produce LULC maps, supervised methods are often used. For many algorithms, independence of features implied assumption. However, this assumption rarely tested. classification, all bands as input models the default approach. some may be highly correlated, which cause model performances unstable. In research, correlations multicollinearity among multi-spectral analyzed...
