This study evaluates and compares the performance of three machine learning models (KNN, RF, and XGBoost) for landslide susceptibility mapping in Rangamati District, Bangladesh, and finds that XGBoost has the best performance.
This study evaluates and compares three machine learning models: K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Random Forest (RF) and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) for landslide susceptibility mapping for part of areas in Rangamati District, Bangladesh. The performance of these methods has been assessed by employing statistical methods such as the area under the curve (AUC) for success rate (SR) and prediction rate (PR), Kappa index, Qs index and Friedman's test. Results show that XGBoost had the best performance with the highest AUC for both SR (95.27%) and PR (90.63%), followed by RF (SR: 89.26%; PR: 84.74%) and KNN models (SR: 85.54%; PR: 81.02%). This study provides a useful analysis for the selection of the best model for landslide susceptibility mapping and that it will be helpful for disaster planning and risk reduction.
