Novel MLR-RF-Based Geospatial Techniques
Geostatistical estimation methods rely on experimental variograms that are mostly erratic, leading to subjective model fitting and assuming normal distribution during conditional simulations. In contrast, Machine Learning Algorithms (MLA) are (1) free of such limitations, (2) can incorporate information from multiple sources and therefore emerge with increasing interest in real-time resource estimation and automation. However, MLAs need to be exp…
