Study on the calculation of surface residual deformation in goaf based on the Gudermann time function by Haiguang Du, Wenchang Wang, Zhilin Dun, Lianwei Ren, Yakun Nan

“…Combined with the probability integral method, the calculation method of the residual subsidence at any point of the ground surface is proposed. Finally, 1176 east working face is adopted for verification, and the results show that the mean absolute error (MAE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of using the Gudermann time function for maximum subsidence point estimation are 40.23 and 0.17 respectively, and the determinable coefficient is 0.993, and the estimated value matches with the measured value. …”
