Using Multi-Factor Analysis to Predict Urban Flood Depth Based on Naive Bayes

Abstract

With global warming, the number of extreme weather events will increase. This scenario, combined with accelerating urbanization, increases the likelihood of urban flooding. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the characteristics of flooded areas caused by rainstorms, especially the flood depth. We applied the Naive Bayes theory to construct a model (NB model) to predict urban flood depth here in Zhengzhou. The model used 11 factors that affect the extent of flooding—rainfall, duration of rainfall, peak rainfall, the proportion of roads, woodlands, grasslands, water bodies and building, permeability, catchment area, and slope. The forecast depth of flooding from the NB model under different rainfall conditions was used to draw an urban inundation map by ArcGIS software. The results show that the probability and degree of urban flooding in Zhengzhou increases significantly after a return period of once every two years, and the flooded areas mainly occurred in older urban areas. The average root mean square error of prediction results was 0.062, which verifies the applicability and validity of our model in the depth prediction of urban floods. Our findings suggest the NB model as a feasible approach to predict urban flood depth.

Flood Susceptibility Modeling Using an Advanced Deep Learning-Based Iterative Classifier Optimizer

“…However, there is a constraint and a disadvantage to the findings of the analysis of FS using a stand-alone approach [19]. Owing to inadequate datasets, stand-alone models frequently fail to identify the best-fit function in the hypothesis space or the actual probability of the subset [100]. As a result, hybrid or ensemble modeling is used to predict the FS region accurately [3].…”

“…Of the classical machine learning algorithms, one of the few that is based on probability theory is naïve Bayes. Its performance comparable to that of neural networks and learning based on decision trees in some domains [100]. It is a special instance of Bayesian networks in which one node is an attribute node, and the others are feature nodes that are assumed to be independent of one another.…”

NBcoded: network attack classifiers based on Encoder and Naive Bayes model for resource limited devices

“…For example, in medicine for the detection of cerebral infarction [29], or for coronary heart disease, breast cancer and diabetes [15]. Research in many other fields can be found too; in [36], for predicting water floods, or in [23], for earthquake predictions. Another interesting study is presented in [18], where they propose an automatic bridge crack recognition tool based on CNN and NB.…”

Flood Vulnerability and Resiliency in Coastal Areas Based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Dynamic

“…According to [6], in creating a spatial database, the data describing the factors that cause flooding include topography, geology, soil [7]. According to [8], modeling uses 11 factors that affect flood levels, namely rainfall, rainfall duration, peak rainfall, the proportion of roads, forests, grasslands, water bodies and buildings, permeability, catchment area, and slope. These factors are the hydrological review factors of an area.…”
