Logistic nominal regressions establish mathematical relations between continuous or discrete independent variables and discrete dependent variables. The prediction potential of the occurrence and distribution of soil classes in the region Ibirubá and Quinze de Novembro, RS, Brazil was evaluated. Using a digital elevation model (DEM) with 90 m resolution, were calculated several topographic characteristics (elevation, slope, and curvature) and hydrographic variables (distance to rivers, flow length, topographical wetness index, and stream power index). Multiple logistic regressions were established between the […]
