Evolutionary Prediction of Soil Loss from Observed Rainstorm Parameters in an Erosion Watershed Using Genetic Programming by Kennedy C. Onyelowe, Ahmed M. Ebid, Light Nwobia

“…Three evolutionary trials were executed, and three models were presented considering different permutations of the predictors. The performance evaluation of the three models showed that trial 3 with the highest parametric permutation, i.e., that included the influence of all the studied parameters showed the least error of 0.1 and the maximum coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.97 and as such is the most efficient, robust, and applicable GP model to predict the soil loss value.…”
