English

Subject field(s)
  • Cartography
  • Soil Science
  • Applications of Automation
CONT

Predictive digital soil mapping(PDSM) is a mapping technique enabled by advances in computing and data science that uses numerical or statistical models to combine information about soil-forming factors obtained from spatial data layers(environmental covariates) with point soil data in order to estimate soil features for a map area...

OBS

Conventional and digital soil mapping differ primarily in the way that soil classes or attribute values are assigned to locations. In conventional soil mapping, a combination of field inspection, extrapolation and expert knowledge is used, while in digital soil mapping, field information and quantitative inference models are used to predict soil conditions at given locations.

Predictive data is the result of predictive analytics, which is used to make predictions about unknown future events. Predictive analytics use techniques from data mining, modeling, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to analyze current data to make predictions about the future. The goal of predictive analytics is to forecast the future as accurately as possible and provide a set of data otherwise unavailable.

Utilizing standard structured interview data, we employed a holdout sample strategy to test a path model that posited three psychosocial variables as partially mediating the predictive relations of two ecological/architectural and three personal variables with mental health.
