the goal of this research is gully erosion hazard zoning by using dempster-shafer theory for the garnaveh watershed (golestan province). for this purpose, at first a gully erosion inventory map with the scale of 1:200000 (dependent variable) for the gharnaveh watershed has been prepared using multiple field surveys and satellite pictures. from total gullies 70% of them have randomly selected fo...

This paper introduces two methods for estimating reliable prediction intervals for local linear least-squares regressions, named Bounded Oscillation Prediction Intervals (BOPI). It also proposes a new measure for comparing interval prediction models named Equivalent Gaussian Standard Deviation (EGSD). The experimental results compare BOPI to other methods using coverage probability, Mean Interv...
