description | Predicting landslide displacement is
challenging, but accurate predictions can prevent casualties and economic
losses. Many factors can affect the deformation of a landslide, including the
geological conditions, rainfall and reservoir water level. Time series
analysis was used to decompose the cumulative displacement of landslide into
a trend component and a periodic component. Then the least-squares support
vector machine (LSSVM) model and genetic algorithm (GA) were used to predict
landslide displacement, and we selected a representative landslide with
episodic movement deformation as a case study. The trend component
displacement, which is associated with the geological conditions, was
predicted using a polynomial function, and the periodic component
displacement which is associated with external environmental factors, was
predicted using the GA-LSSVM model. Furthermore, based on a comparison of the
results of the GA-LSSVM model and those of other models, the GA-LSSVM model
was superior to other models in predicting landslide displacement, with the
smallest root mean square error (RMSE) of 62.4146 mm, mean absolute error
(MAE) of 53.0048 mm and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of
1.492 % at monitoring station ZG85, while these three values are
87.7215 mm, 74.0601 mm and 1.703 % at ZG86 and 49.0485 mm,
48.5392 mm and 3.131 % at ZG87. The results of the case study suggest
that the model can provide good consistency between measured displacement and
predicted displacement, and periodic displacement exhibited good agreement
with trends in the major influencing factors. |
