Prediction of ground vibration due to mine blasting in a surface lead–zinc mine using machine learning ensemble techniques

, RMSE, MAE, VAF, and Accuracy corresponding to the EXGBoosts were (0.990, 0.391, 0.257, 99.013(%), 98.216), and (0.968, 0.295, 0.427, 96.674(%), 96.059), for training and testing datasets, respectively. However, the sensitivity analysis indicated that the spacing (r = 0.917) and number of blast-holes (r = 0.839) had the highest and lowest impact on the PPV intensity, respectively.
