Abstract
This study aims to explore the influence of the training sample selection method and the presence and absence sample ratio on the study of landslide susceptibility by the logistic stepwise regression (LSR) model. Eight-kilometer range of the main road in Wenchuan County is taken as the research area, and the neighboring Mao County is considered to test the robustness of LSR models. The performance of the models obtained by randomly selecting (RS) 70% of the data as the training sample from the sample set and selecting the data as the training sample by tenfold cross-validation (CV) is compared. At the same time, the difference in model performance when the number of absence samples in the training samples is 1, 5, 7, and 10 times that of the presence samples is also studied. The results show that (1) the CV-LSR model is not only better than the RS-LSR model in terms of model prediction accuracy, but is also more stable and effective in factor selection; (2) when the number of absence samples in the training sample is too large, the model will underestimate the landslide susceptibility, and when the number of presence and absence samples is the same, the prediction effect of the model is the best.
