Forecasting Refugee of Debris Flow Using Multiple Regression Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to build a prediction model for refugee population in the daytime based on the investigation on refugee population in 46 villages which are subordinate to Xinyi, Shuili, and Lugu Township in Nantou County, Taiwan. In the model of multiple regression analysis, the dependent variable is refugee population in the daytime, and independent variables include residents in the evening, employee population, student population, and cost of damaged buildings in a landslide. The analysis of regression obtained the determination coefficient R2 of 0.986 and F value of 814.85 which approached statistical significance (p<α = .01).
