Abstract:The selection of unburned labels is a crucial step in machine learning modelling of wildfire occurrence probability. However, the effect of different sampling strategies on the performance of machine learning methods has not yet been thoroughly investigated. Additionally, whether the ratio of burned labels to unburned labels should be balanced or imbalanced remains a controversial issue. To address these gaps in the literature, we examined the effects of four broadly used sampling strategies for unburned label… Show more
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.
