Abstract This study was aimed to prepare landslide susceptibility maps for the Pithoragarh district in Uttarakhand, India, using advanced ensemble models that combined Radial Basis Function Networks (RBFN) with three ensemble learning techniques: DAGGING (DG), MULTIBOOST (MB), and ADABOOST (AB). This combination resulted in three distinct ensemble models: DG-RBFN, MB-RBFN, and AB-RBFN. Additionally, a traditional weighted method, Information Value (IV), and a benchmark machine learning (ML) model, Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network (MLP), were employed for comparison and validation. The models were developed using ten landslide conditioning factors, which included slope, aspect, elevation, curvature, land cover, geomorphology,… More >
