Classification of Non-Seismic Tsunami Early Warning Level Using Decision Tree Algorithm by Elmo Juanara, Chi Yung Lam

“…Conclusion: To improve the model performance in the ‘No Warning’ class, it is necessary to balance the dataset by including more ‘No Warning’ scenarios, which can be achieved by simulating additional scenarios involving very small-volume collapse. Additionally, exploring additional collapse parameters such as dip angle and outlier volume could contribute to developing a more robust classification model.   …”
