Results indicate that the proposed Bagging-LMT model can be used for sustainable management of flood-prone areas and outperformed all state-of-the-art benchmark soft computing models.
Abstract
A new artificial intelligence (AI) model, called Bagging-LMT - a combination of bagging ensemble and Logistic Model Tree (LMT) - is introduced for mapping flood susceptibility. A spatial database was generated for the Haraz watershed, northern Iran, that included a flood inventory map and eleven flood conditioning factors based on the Information Gain Ratio (IGR). The model was evaluated using precision, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, Root Mean Square Error, Mean Absolute Error, Kappa and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve criteria. The model was also compared with four state-of-the-art benchmark soft computing models, including LMT, logistic regression, Bayesian logistic regression, and random forest. Results revealed that the proposed model outperformed all these models and indicate that the proposed model can be used for sustainable management of flood-prone areas.

Application of fuzzy weight of evidence and data mining techniques in construction of flood susceptibility map of Poyang County, China.

TL;DR: A novel approach to construct a flood susceptibility map in the Poyang County, JiangXi Province, China is proposed by implementing fuzzy weight of evidence (fuzzy-WofE) and data mining methods and the fuzzy WofE-SVM model was the model with the highest predictive performance.

A GIS-based landslide susceptibility evaluation using bivariate and multivariate statistical analyses

TL;DR: In this paper, both bivariate and multivariate statistical analyses were used to predict the spatial distribution of landslides in the Cuyahoga River watershed, northeastern Ohio, U.S.A. The relationship between landslides and various instability factors contributing to their occurrence was evaluated using a Geographic Information System (GIS) based investigation.

Influence of uncertain boundary conditions and model structure on flood inundation predictions.

TL;DR: Uncertainty of the upstream boundary can have significant impact on the model results, exceeding the importance of model parameter uncertainty in some areas, however, this depends on the hydraulic conditions in the reach e.g. internal boundary conditions and, for example, the amount of backwater within the modelled region.

Mapping of flood dynamics and spatial distribution of vegetation in the Amazon floodplain using multitemporal SAR data

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used time series of SAR images to map the flood temporal dynamics and the spatial distribution of vegetation over a large Amazonian floodplain using decision rules over two decision variables: 1) the mean backscatter coefficient computed over the whole time series; 2) the total change computed using an “Absolute Change” estimator.

Flood susceptible mapping and risk area delineation using logistic regression, GIS and remote sensing

TL;DR: In this article, a flood susceptible map for presumptive flood areas around at Kelantan river basin in Malaysia using a statistical model and GIS was constructed from a topographical map, geological map, hydrological map, Global Positioning System (GPS) data, land cover map, digital elevation model (DEM) data and precipitation data.
