Advancing water-conducting fracture zone height prediction in coal mining via hybrid XGBoost models with interpretability analysis
The height of the water-conducting fracture zone (WCFZH) is a crucial indicator for assessing mining-induced damage in coal mines. Accurate and interpretable prediction of WCFZH is essential for disaster prevention and safe mining. Therefore, this paper combines extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) with heuristic intell...
