Abstract
In this work, the Generalized Additive Model (GAM) technique was implemented for the landslide susceptibility assessment in the Gravegnola T. basin (Eastern Liguria, Italy), affected by many shallow landslides caused by the 25 October 2011 rainstorm. Nine morphological variables, river network, land use and geologicalsettings were considered in GAM. The predictive performance of different combinations of these variables (chosen using a stepwise optimization of the Akaike information criterion) was evaluated through the cross-validation technique and AUROC computation. A susceptibility map using all the shallow landslide types was produced and compared with those obtained by Bartelletti et al. (2017b) foreach different landslide type. The results strengthen the ability of this methodology to select the most influent predisposing factors. The bootstrap procedure allowed to compute the 95% probability confidence intervals of the landslide probability. Their amplitude can be interpreted as a measure of the spatial model reliability.
