Nice paper illustrating a novel application of machine learning. Using this methodology, soil geochemistry can predict #radon potential classes with a 73% accuracy. Quite remarkable given the large area covered and range of geology and soil types!
Congratulations to Meabh @Banrion_M on the publication of the 4th paper from her PhD thesis! Machine Learning applied to soil geochemistry and radon potential modeling.
