“…Curvature of the ground is important as concave surface are more suitable for holding the surface water thus helps in recharging the area. Aspect give direction of slope and thus provide information of incidence of rainfall [20][21][22][23]. Slope provide important information of runoff and accumulation of water thus of recharge.…”

The main aim of this study is to assess groundwater potential of the DakNong province, Vietnam, using an advanced ensemble machine learning model (RABANN) that integrates Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) with RealAdaBoost (RAB) ensemble technique. For this study, twelve conditioning factors and wells yield data was used to create the training and testing datasets for the development and validation of the ensemble RABANN model. Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) and several statistical performance measures were used to validate and compare performance of the ensemble RABANN model with the single ANN model. Results of the model studies showed that both models performed well in the training phase of assessing groundwater potential (AUC ≥ 0.7), whereas the ensemble model (AUC = 0.776) outperformed the single ANN model (AUC = 0.699) in the validation phase. This demonstrated that the RAB ensemble technique was successful in improving the performance of the single ANN model. By making minor adjustment in the input data, the ensemble developed model can be adapted for groundwater potential mapping of other regions and countries toward more efficient water resource management. The present study would be helpful in improving the groundwater condition of the area thus in solving water borne disease related health problem of the population.

“…There are two commonly used statistical parameters in multicollinearity analysis, namely tolerance (TOL) and variance inflation factor (VIF), and they are a pair of reciprocals. According to previous studies [6,126], it can be considered that variables are mutually independent when the range of TOL value is 0.1 to 1. The multicollinearity analysis results of landslide conditioning factors under different models are calculated by SPSS software (Table 2) [127].…”

“…Therefore, to reduce the losses, it is absolutely necessary to study the landslide susceptibility in a region [4,5]. According to the previous researches, landslide susceptibility can be roughly defined as the landslide occurrence probability in an area under the synergistic effect of a number of regional geological environmental factors [6,7]. Due to the large number and variability of landslide conditioning factors involved in the process, it is difficult to predict landslide-prone areas.…”

The main purpose of this study is to apply three bivariate statistical models, namely weight of evidence (WoE), evidence belief function (EBF) and index of entropy (IoE), and their ensembles with logistic regression (LR) for landslide susceptibility mapping in Muchuan County, China. First, a landslide inventory map contained 279 landslides was obtained through the field investigation and interpretation of aerial photographs. Next, the landslides were randomly divided into two parts for training and validation with the ratio of 70/30. In addition, according to the regional geological environment characteristics, twelve landslide conditioning factors were selected, including altitude, plan curvature, profile curvature, slope angle, distance to roads, distance to rivers, topographic wetness index (TWI), normalized different vegetation index (NDVI), land use, soil, and lithology. Subsequently, the landslide susceptibility mapping was carried out by the above models. Eventually, the accuracy of this research was validated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the results indicated that the landslide susceptibility map produced by EBF-LR model has the highest accuracy (0.826), followed by IoE-LR model (0.825), WoE-LR model (0.792), EBF model (0.791), IoE model (0.778), and WoE model (0.753). The results of this study can provide references of landslide prevention and land use planning for local government.Symmetry 2019, 11, 762 2 of 24years, machine learning method has been gradually applied in landslide susceptibility mapping researches, such as artificial neural network (ANN) [17][18][19], support vector machine (SVM) [20][21][22], logistic model tree (LMT) [23,24], rotation forest (RF) [25,26], classification and regression tree (CART) [27,28], adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) [29,30], and genetic algorithm (GA) [31,32]. Furthermore, statistical approach is another widely-used model which can also be divided into two types: bivariate and multivariate. In statistical approaches, the weight of each class of every factor was calculated by overlying the landslide inventory map and landslide conditioning factors map [33,34]. The frequently-used statistical approaches are frequency ratio (FR) [35][36][37], logistic regression (LR), evidential belief function (EBF) [38,39], weights of evidence (WoE) [40,41], certainty factor (CF) [42,43], and information value (IV) [44,45].In this paper, three bivariate statistical methods, namely weight of evidence (WoE), evidence belief function (EBF), index of entropy (IoE), coupled with logistic regression (LR) were introduced to carry out the landslide susceptibility mapping in Muchuan County, which lies in the southeast of Sichuan Province, China. All the approaches were first applied in Muchuan County and the main purpose of this article is to obtain the landslide susceptibility maps through the above models. The main difference between this study and literatures referenced above is to achieve accurate landslide susceptibility maps for...

“…In the present study, the least support vector machine (LSSVM) [59] and average merit (AM) criteria [60,61] were applied for the selection of the proper conditioning factors as well as determining their importance. The results showed that all selected conditioning factors have an impact on landslide occurrences in the Shangnan area, China.…”

Landslides cause a considerable amount of damage around the world every year. Landslide susceptibility assessments are useful for the mitigation of the associated potential risks to local economic development, land use planning, and decision makers. The main aim of this study was to present a novel hybrid approach of bagging (B)-based kernel logistic regression (KLR), named the BKLR model, for spatial prediction of landslides in the Shangnan County, China. We first selected 15 conditioning factors for landslide susceptibility modeling. Then, the prediction capability of all conditioning factors was evaluated using the least square support vector machine method. Model validation and comparison were performed based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and several statistical-based indexes, including positive predictive rate, negative predictive rate, sensitivity, specificity, kappa index, and root mean square error. Results indicated that the BKLR ensemble model outperformed and outclassed the KLR and the benchmark support vector machine model. Our findings overall confirmed that a combination of the meta model with a decision tree classifier based on a functional algorithm can decrease the over-fitting and variance problems of data, which could enhance the prediction power of the landslide model. The resultant susceptibility maps could be useful for hazard mitigation in the study area and other similar landslide-prone areas.
