Supporting SLEUTH  Enhancing a cellular automaton with support vector machines for urban growth modeling
Creation of probability maps for urban growth derived by support vector machines and binary logistic regression. Coupling of a modified version of SLEUTH and binary logistic regression resp. support vector machines. Simulation of urban growth between 1975 and 2005 in the southern part of North-Rhine Westphalia. Examination of a probable enhancement of SLEUTH by using various validation techniques with different foci of analysis.
