Abstract This study compares the predictive accuracy of eight state‐of‐the‐art modelling techniques for 12 landforms types in a cold environment. The methods used are Random Forest (RF), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Generalized Boosting Methods (GBM), Generalized Linear Models (GLM), Generalize...
