“…From the parameter layers, it can be concluded that both the south and west sides have four similar characteristics, such as high altitude, far from the roads, high ratio of vegetation coverage and land use type is forest land. This may be the presence of cliffs with rock which is hard to weathering in high-altitude areas [133,135,136]. Besides, far from the roads means it is less affected by human activities [137,138].…”

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...

“…Generally, the strength of a slope body varies with different lithology types [71]. For areas with different land use types, the corresponding physical and mechanical characteristics of soils and rocks have notable differences [44]. Rivers can affect the hydro-geological conditions of slopes, which have strong connections with landslide occurrence [39].…”

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.

In this study, Random SubSpace-based classification and regression tree (RSCART) was introduced for landslide susceptibility modeling, and CART model and logistic regression (LR) model were used as benchmark models. 263 landslide locations in the study area were randomly divided into two parts (70/30) for training and validation of models. 14 landslide influencing factors were selected, such as slope angle, elevation, aspect, sediment transport index (STI), topographical wetness index (TWI), stream power index (SPI), profile curvature, plan curvature, distance to rivers, distance to road, soil, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), land use, and lithology. Finally, the hybrid RSCART model and two benchmark models were applied for landslide susceptibility modeling and the receiver operating characteristic curve method is used to evaluate the performance of the model. The susceptibility is quantitatively compared based on each pixel to reveal the system spatial pattern between susceptibility maps. At the same time, area under ROC curve (AUC) and landslide density analysis were used to estimate the prediction ability of landslide susceptibility map. The results showed that the RSCART model is the optimal model with the highest AUC values of 0.852 and 0.827, followed by LR and CART models. The results also illustrate that the hybrid model generally improves the prediction ability of a single landslide susceptibility model.Water 2020, 12, 113 2 of 29 weights of evidence [10][11][12], frequency ratio [13][14][15][16][17], logistic regression [18][19][20][21], linear multivariate regression, multivariate adaptive regression spline [22][23][24], and statistical index [25,26] have been widely used.

In particular, hybrid models are increasingly used, such as the rotation forest-based decision trees [46,47], frequency ratio-based ANFIS model [48], bagging-based reduced error pruning trees [49], and multiboost-based support vector machines [50].Spatial prediction of landslide is not only the first important step, but also one of the most difficult tasks [31,51]. Many modeling methods have been used in the construction of landslide susceptibility maps in the past, but the accuracy of these models has not been accepted by all researchers [52]. Youssef et al. used CART model to study landslide susceptibility in Wadi Tayyah Basin. The result of post-cart model is not optimal [53].
