Enhancing flood-prone area mapping: fine-tuning the K-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm for spatial modelling

ABSTRACTThis study focuses on determining the optimal distance metric in the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm for spatial modelling of floods. Four distance metrics of the KNN algorithm, namely KNN-Manhattan, KNN-Minkowski, KNN-Euclidean, and KNN-Chebyshev, were utilized for flood susceptibility...
