Stochastic procedure to extract and to integrate landslide susceptibility maps: an example of mountainous watershed in Taiwan

The Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE) is here incorporated into a deterministic landslide model (SHALSTAB) to generate 4000 landslide susceptibility maps which enclose various combinations of full range parameters.Furthermore, an improved index is adopted into GLUE as a criterion to measure lycogel model performance, and through
