Forest Fire Probability Mapping in Eastern Serbia: Logistic Regression versus Random Forest Method

Abstract: Forest fire risk has increased globally during the previous decades. The Mediterranean region is traditionally the most at risk in Europe, but continental countries like Serbia have experienced significant economic and ecological losses due to forest fires. To prevent damage to forests and infrastructure, alongside other societal losses, it is necessary to create an effective protection system against fire, which minimizes the harmful effects. Forest fire probability mapping, as one of the basic tools in risk … Show more

“…Although in [49] RF models were more efficient than LR for forest fire probability mapping, in our study, XGBoost presented an even higher performance. RF and LR hardly achieved an accuracy of 60-70%, whereas XGBoost achieved an accuracy of 70-80% (Figure 5).…”

“…LR is primarily used for binary dependent variables, however, the model can be extended to scenarios involving 3 or more dependent variables (ordinal, multinomial). LR integrates a logistic distribution function (also known as a sigmoid function) which models the probability ratio directly [39]. Logistic regression can mathematically be defined as finding the optimized β parameters of the observed values a and b which is given as:…”

“…Some new technologies have been used to simulate the fire spread to get a better simulation result, and machine learning based models have been in use for a long time [26,27]. Milanović [28] determined the main explanatory variables for forest fire occurrence for Logistic Regression (LR) and Random Forest (RF), and they mapped the probability of forest fire occurrence in Eastern Serbia based on these models. However, LR and RF models are more likely to produce under-fitting.…”
