Citing

If the software is used in any scientific publication, we appreciate citing the paper below. Here is a ready-made BibTeX entry:

@article{Kouadio_Liu_Liu_2023b,
title={watex: machine learning research in water exploration},
DOI={https://doi.org/10.1016/j.softx.2023.101367},
journal={SoftwareX},
author={Kouadio, Kouao Laurent and Liu, Jianxin and Liu, Rong},
year={2023},
pages={7}
}

Moreover, watex are used in real-world case study papers. For instance, it was used for the flow rate prediction in Bagoue region applying the support vector-machines (SVMs) and provides complete details explanations about the DC-resistivity parameter definitions (watex.datasets.load_bagoue()). Here is a ready-made BibTeX entry of the published papers:

@article{Kouadio2022,
author = {Kouadio, Kouao Laurent and Loukou, Nicolas Kouame and Coulibaly, Drissa and Mi, Binbin and Kouamelan, Serge Kouamelan and Gnoleba, Serge Pac{\^{o}}me D{\'{e}}guine and Zhang, Hongyu and XIA, Jianghai},
doi = {10.1029/2021wr031623},
file = {:C\:/Users/Daniel/Desktop/papers/groundwater-flow-rate-prediction-from-geo-electrical-features-using-support-vector-machines.pdf:pdf},
issn = {0043-1397},
journal = {Water Resources Research},
pages = {1--33},
title = {{Groundwater Flow Rate Prediction from Geo‐Electrical Features using Support Vector Machines}},
year = {2022}
}

Furthermore, watex is also used to predict and enhance the permeability coefficient k score from geological, borehole and logging data by solving the numerous missing k existing in the borehole data (watex.datasets.load_hlogs()). It implements a novel approach called mixture learning strategy (MXS: watex.methods.MXS) as the combinaison of the unsupervised learning ( K-Means and HAC algorithmns) and supervised learning ( SVMs and Xtreme Gradient Boosting) methodologies for reducing the numerous unsucessful pumping tests. Here is a ready-made BibTeX:

@article{Kouadio_Liu_Liu_2023a,
title={A mixture learning strategy for predicting aquifers permeability coefficient k},
DOI={http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4326365},
journal={Engineering Geology},
author={Kouadio, Kouao Laurent and Liu, Jianxin and Liu, Rong},
year={2023}
}

In most situations where watex is cited, a citation to scikit-learn would also be appropriate.
