SBDM v1.0: A scaling-based discretization method for the Geographical Detector Model [PDF]

, 2018
Abstract. Geographical Detector Model (GDM) can be used to assess the affinity between potential environmental factors and the response variables. If environmental factors entered are continuous, the first step for application of GDM is to discretize the continuous variable into category strata with an appropriate discretization method.

Regional-Scale Monitoring of Wheat Stripe Rust Using Remote Sensing and Geographical Detectors

Remote Sensing, 2023
Realizing the high-precision monitoring of wheat stripe rust over a large area is of great significance in ensuring the safety of wheat production. Existing studies have mostly focused on the fusion of multi-source data and the construction of key monitoring features to improve the accuracy of disease monitoring, with less consideration for the ...
