Prediction of large spatio-temporal data using machine learning methods

(2019) Prediction of large spatio-temporal data using machine learning methods. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This project was a step forward in statistical methodology for predicting green vegetation land cover in homogeneous grazing land. A supervised machine learning method, namely Boosted Regression Tree, was applied to satellite imagery. The predictive capabilities of the method was established using different data sets and approaches. Four research aims were achieved, including improved land-use prediction in a semi-arid region sensitive to climate variability.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
