Evaluation of Building Seismic Capacity Based on Improved Naive Bayesian Algorithm by Yalong Li, Wei Wang, Bin Tan, Hongxia Wang

“…In order to improve the generalization ability and avoid overfitting, the K-SMOTE algorithm for mixed sampling was modified to improve sample balance, and random k-fold cross validation method was used for sample division and model optimization, achieving the determination of seismic capacity level of building. The research results indicate the following: (1) the accuracy of model evaluation is 93%, with model accuracy and recall rates of 0.913 and 0.93, respectively, indicating strong generalization ability of the model. (2) Selecting some actual examples of a building, the model judgment results are consistent with the actual results, verifying the correctness of the proposed method for building the model, which can be effectively used for determining the seismic capacity of building structures. (3) Applying the proposed method to the seismic capacity assessment of buildings in the Ta-pieh Mountains of Lu’an, it is concluded that the seismic capacity of urban buildings is common, while that of rural buildings is poor.…”
