Prediction of Earthquake Death Toll Based on Principal Component Analysis, Improved Whale Optimization Algorithm, and Extreme Gradient Boosting by Chenhui Wang, Xiaotao Zhang, Xiaoshan Wang, Guoping Chang

“…To address the challenges of small sample sizes, high dimensionality, and strong nonlinearity in earthquake fatality prediction, this paper proposes an integrated modeling approach (PCA-IWOA-XGBoost) combining Principal Component Analysis (PCA), the Improved Whale Optimization Algorithm (IWOA), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost). The method first employs PCA to reduce the dimensionality of the influencing factor data, eliminating redundant information and improving modeling efficiency. …”
