Parameter Acquisition Study of Mining-Induced Surface Subsidence Probability Integral Method Based on RF-AGA-ENN Model by Jinman Zhang, Liangji Xu, Jiewei Li, Yueguan Yan, Ruirui Xu

“…To obtain more accurate PIM parameters in the absence of observational data, we propose a combined machine learning model (RF-AGA-ENN)—random forest (RF) extracts the best combination of features as the input layer of Elman neural network (ENN); ant colony algorithm (ACO) and genetic algorithm (GA) are combined (called AGA) for the weights and thresholds of ENN optimization. The results of the study show that (1) the RF-AGA-ENN model is used to obtain PIM values with MAXRE values between 1.94% and 9.18%, AVERY values between 0.98% and 3.98%, and RMSE values between 0.0050 and 0.9632. (2) Compared with the PIM parameters obtained from BP neural network, RF-ENN, RF-ACO-ENN, and RF-GA-ENN models, the PIM parameters obtained from the RF-AGA-ENN model have better stability and accuracy. (3) According to the PIM parameters obtained by the RF-AGA-ENN model, the predicted and measured values of surface settlement at the 11111 working face have a high degree of agreement. …”
