A comparative study of different machine learning methods for landslide susceptibility assessment

TLDR
Analysis and comparison of the results show that all five landslide models performed well for landslide susceptibility assessment, but it has been observed that the SVM model has the best performance in comparison to other landslide models.
Abstract
Landslide susceptibility assessment of Uttarakhand area of India has been done by applying five machine learning methods namely Support Vector Machines (SVM), Logistic Regression (LR), Fisher's Linear Discriminant Analysis (FLDA), Bayesian Network (BN), and Naive Bayes (NB). Performance of these methods has been evaluated using the ROC curve and statistical index based methods. Analysis and comparison of the results show that all five landslide models performed well for landslide susceptibility assessment (AUCź=ź0.910-0.950). However, it has been observed that the SVM model (AUCź=ź0.950) has the best performance in comparison to other landslide models, followed by the LR model (AUCź=ź0.922), the FLDA model (AUCź=ź0.921), the BN model (AUCź=ź0.915), and the NB model (AUCź=ź0.910), respectively. Machine learning methods namely SVM, LR, FLDA, BN, and NB have been evaluated and compared for landslide susceptibility assessment.Results indicate that all these five models can be applied efficiently for landslide assessment and prediction.Analysis of comparative results reaffirmed that the SVM model is one of the best methods.
