“…In recent decades, there are lots of publications about DDMs in environmental sciences such as ANN (Cevik et al, 2017), ANFIS (Kisi, Sanikhani, et al, 2017;Zamani Sabzi et al, 2017), GEP (Shiri et al, 2013), MT (Fernandez Martinez et al, 2014;Kisi & Kilic, 2015), OPELM (Şahin, 2013), MARS (Kisi, Parmar, et al, 2017), KNN (Modaresi et al, 2018;Naghibi et al, 2018), SVM (Mohammadpour et al, 2015;Mosavi et al, 2019), RF (Shiri et al, 2017;Wei, 2017), MLR (Kisi & Parmar, 2016;Mohammadi et al, 2016). Notably, there are several works that used DDMs for modeling MSW such as SVM (Abbasi & El Hanandeh, 2016;Najafzadeh & Zeinolabedini, 2019), ANN (Chhay et al, 2018;Hoque & Rahman, 2020;Oliveira et al, 2019;Soni et al, 2019), ANFIS (Abbasi & El Hanandeh, 2016;Soni et al, 2019), RF (Kumar et al, 2018), KNN (Abbasi & El Hanandeh, 2016).…”
