AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to simultaneously account for spatial nonstationarity and complex nonlinear characteristics in complex terrain areas, resulting in insufficient accuracy in soil thickness prediction, incomplete feature factor systems, unstable model parameter estimation, and a tendency to overfit or lose important information.
The geographically weighted regression (GWR) model is used to capture the spatial trend of soil thickness, and the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) model is combined to perform nonlinear correction on the regression residuals. By introducing a regularization term and a subsampling strategy for feature selection, a spatial-nonlinear coupled inversion model is constructed.
It significantly improves the accuracy of soil thickness prediction and the rationality of spatial mapping, enhances the model's generalization ability and spatial extrapolation reliability, and achieves high-precision soil thickness inversion.
