Analysis and modelling of urban sprawl process and its spatiotemporal patterns in tripoli metropolitan area, Libya by Abdulhadi, Abubakr Albashir

“…To simulate the urban sprawl process and predict probable sprawl patterns in the future, several modeling approaches were applied, including (1) bivariate statistical model of Frequency Ratio (FR), (2) a novel bivariate statistical urban model of Evidential Belief Functions (EBF), (3) Multivariate Logistic Regression (LR) Model, and (4) Common Integrated Cellular Automata Markov Chain (CA-Markov) model. Furthermore, this study proposed a novel integrated hybrid model based on Multivariate Decision-Tree-based Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID-DT), Markov Chain (MC), and Cellular Automata (CA) models. …”
