The purpose of this study was to investigate the capabilities of different landslide susceptibility methods by comparing their results statistically and spatially to select the best method that portrays the susceptibility zones for the Ulus district of the Bartin province (northern Turkey). Susceptibility maps based on spatial regression (SR), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA), logistic regression (LR) method, and artificial neural network method (ANN) were generated, and the effect of each geomorphological parameter was determined. The landslide inventory map digitized from previous studies was used as a base map for landslide occurrence. All of the analyses were implemented with respect to landslides classified as rotational, active, and deeper than 5m. Three different sets of data were used to produce nine explanatory variables (layers). The study area was divided into grids of 90mx90m, and the 'seed cell' technique was applied to obtain statistically balanced population distribution over landslide inventory area. The constructed dataset was divided into two datasets as training and test. The initial assessment consisted of multicollinearity of explanatory variables. Empirical information entropy analysis was implemented to quantify the spatial distribution of the outcomes of these methods. Results of the analyses were validated by using success rate curve (SRC) and prediction rate curve (PRC) methods. Additionally, statistical and spatial comparisons of the results were performed to determine the most suitable susceptibility zonation method in this large-scale study area. In accordance with all these comparisons, it is concluded that ANN was the best method to represent landslide susceptibility throughout the study area with an acceptable processing time.

Analysis of training sample selection strategies for regression-based quantitative landslide susceptibility mapping methods
ERENER, ARZU; Sivas, A. Abdullah; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Duzgun, H. Sebnem (2017-07-01)
All of the quantitative landslide susceptibility mapping (QLSM) methods requires two basic data types, namely, landslide inventory and factors that influence landslide occurrence (landslide influencing factors, LIF). Depending on type of landslides, nature of triggers and LIF, accuracy of the QLSM methods differs. Moreover, how to balance the number of 0 (nonoccurrence) and 1 (occurrence) in the training set obtained from the landslide inventory and how to select which one of the 1's and 0's to be included ...
A comparison of the GIS based landslide susceptibility assessment methods: multivariate versus bivariate
Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi (2004-03-01)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and to compare the results of multivariate (logical regression) and bivariate (landslide susceptibility) methods in Geographical Information System (GIS) based landslide susceptibility assessment procedures. In order to achieve this goal the Asarsuyu catchment in NW Turkey was selected as a test zone because of its well-known landslide occurrences interfering with the E-5 highway mountain pass.
Evaluation and forecasting of gas consumption by statistical analysis
Gorucu, FB; Gumrah, F (2004-02-01)
This study includes an approach to understand the factors affecting gas demand and to forecast gas consumption by multivariable regression analysis for the capital city of Ankara, Turkey. The process of the study is developing a statistical model and testing the model for the past years to understand how accurate it is. After obtaining the most reliable model, forecasting the gas consumption for the remaining days of 2002 and the year 2005 is performed. During the project, by the means of economical conditi...

This study mainly focuses on the determination of site effects for the Plio-Quaternary sediments of Gölyaka-Düzce, Turkey by characterizing local soil conditions. Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) analysis was performed to observe the effect and importance of local site conditions. The study area is located within the Eastern Marmara Region and uniquely falls within the bifurcated section of the North Anatolian Fault System (NAFS). This tectonic basin is bounded by the surface rupture of the 19...
