Land subsidence is a worldwide threat that may cause irreversible damage to the environment and the infrastructures. Thus, identifying and mapping areas prone to land subsidence with accurate methods such as Land Subsidence Susceptibility Index (LSSI) mapping is crucial for mitigating the adverse impacts of this geohazard. Also, Machine Learning (ML) is now becoming a powerful tool to analyze v…
Due to the nature of black-box machine learning (ML) models used in the spatial modelling field of environmental and natural hazards, the interpretation of predictive model outputs is necessary. For this purpose, we applied four interpretation techniques consisting of interaction plot, permutation feature importance (PFI) measure, shapley additive explanation (SHAP) decision plot, and accumulat…
