- Abstract
- We have developed a tool in R (the free software environment for statistical computing, http://www.r-project.org/)
to estimate the probability density and the frequency density of landslide area. The tool implements parametric
and non-parametric approaches to the estimation of the probability density and the frequency density of landslide
area, including: (i) Histogram Density Estimation (HDE), (ii) Kernel Density Estimation (KDE), and (iii) Maxi-
mum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). The tool is available as a standard Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web
Processing Service (WPS), and is accessible through the web using different GIS software clients. We tested the
tool to compare Double Pareto and Inverse Gamma models for the probability density of landslide area in dif-
ferent geological, morphological and climatological settings, and to compare landslides shown in inventory maps
prepared using different mapping techniques, including (i) field mapping, (ii) visual interpretation of monoscopic
and stereoscopic aerial photographs, (iii) visual interpretation of monoscopic and stereoscopic VHR satellite im-
ages and (iv) semi-automatic detection and mapping from VHR satellite images. Results show that both models
are applicable in different geomorphological settings. In most cases the two models provided very similar results.
Non-parametric estimation methods (i.e. HDE and KDE) provided reasonable results for all the tested landslide
datasets. For some of the datasets, MLE failed to provide a result, for convergence problems. The two tested mod-
els (Double Pareto and Inverse Gamma) resulted in very similar results for large and very large datasets (> 150
samples). Differences in the modeling results were observed for small datasets affected by systematic biases. A
distinct rollover was observed in all analyzed landslide datasets, except for a few datasets obtained from landslide
inventories prepared through field mapping or by semi-automatic mapping from VHR satellite imagery. The tool
can also be used to evaluate the probability density and the frequency density of landslide volume. (literal)
