that combining bag-of-words and anomaly-detection PCA methods could predict 6 out of 8 occurrences of actual events, providing a prediction rate of 75%. In addition, the models make 13 predictions, and 6 of them are correct, providing a prediction accuracy of 46%. Optimal parameters (including window size, bag length, filter ratio of training data, and anomaly 20 threshold) of the models are also examined to increase the accuracy of debris flow prediction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
