“…Classic logistic regression models were replaced by generalized additive models (GAMs) for dichotomized target variables. The models were created for 78 different types of crashes in a consistent approach to see how the weather effects and the predictive power of different speed limits, types of crashes, and crash severities compare [27]. Anarkooli et al found that injury severity is significantly correlated with factors such as poor visibility, rainy weather, the presence of a central median, the involvement of a heavy vehicle, improper overtaking, vehicle age, traffic volume and composition, the number of travel lanes, the speed limit, the undulating terrain, and the vehicle type [28].…”
