First, the expert appraisal approach is used to select the primary evaluation index. As a result, 81 indices and the hierarchical structures of the index such as the object layer, the sub-object layer, the criterion layer and the index layer are determined. Then, based on the fuzzy characteristics of each index layer, the analytical hierarchy process（AHP）and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation are applied to generate the weight and the satisfaction of the index and the criterion layers. When analyzing the relationship between the sub-object layer and the object layer, it is easy to find that the number of sub-objects is too large and sub-objects are significantly redundant. The partial least square （PLS） is proposed to solve the problems. Finally, an application example, whose result has already been accepted and employed as the indication of a new project in improving incident management, is introduced and the result verifies the feasibility and efficiency of the model.展开更多

Therefore, it is essential to analyze and predict the distribution of P in soils across large areas. This study was undertaken to model the variation of soil total phosphorus (TP) in Florida. A total of 448 soil samples were collected from different soil types. Soil samples were analyzed by chemical reference method and scanned in the visible/near-infrared (VNIR) region of 350-2 500 nm. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) calibration model was developed between chemical reference values and VNIR values. The coefficient of determination (R2) and the root mean squares error (RMSE) of calibration and validation sets, and the residual prediction deviation (RPD) were used to evaluate the models. The R2in calibration and validation for log-transformed TP (log TP) were 0.69 and 0.65, respectively, indicating that VNIR calibration obtained in this study accounted for at least 65% of the variance in log TP using only VNIR spectra, and the high RPD of 2.82 obtained suggested that the spectral model derived in this study was suitable and robust to predict TP in a wide range of soil types, being representative of Florida soil conditions.展开更多
