To do this, an inventory of landslides induced by the 2011 Lorca earthquake is used to highlight the usefulness of these methods to improve earthquake-induced landslide hazard analyses. Various statistical models, such as logistic regression, random forest, artificial neural network, and support vector machine, have been employed for co-seismic landslide susceptibility mapping. The results demonstrate that machine learning techniques using principal components (especially, artificial neural network and support vector machine) yield better results compared to other models. In particular, random forest shows poor results. Artificial neural network and support vector machine approaches are compared to the results of physical-based methods in the same area, suggesting that machine learning methods can provide better results for developing co-seismic landslide susceptibility maps. The application of different advanced statistical models shows the need for validation with an actual inventory of co-seismic landslides to ensure reliability and objectivity. In addition, statistical methods require a great amount of data. The results establish effective land planning and hazard management strategies in seismic areas to minimize the damage of future co-seismic landslides.engAttribution 4.0 Internationaljournal article2076-3417https://doi.org/10.3390/app13148285https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/13/14/8285open access624.121.542machine learningNewmark displacementco-seismic landslidelogistic regressionrandom forestartificial neural networksupport vector machineGeodinámica2506.03 Geología Aplicada a la Ingeniería2506.04 Geología Ambiental
