Susceptibility on the Mississippi River Using Logistic Regression

Description: Factors relating to presence/absence of a levee failure
at a site on middle Mississippi River, with predictors:
Site underlain by coarse-grain channel fill (sediment)
Borrow pit indicator

channel width
floodway width
constriction factor
land cover type (1=open water, 2=grassy, 3=agricultural, 4=forest)
vegetative buffer width
channel sinuosity 
dredging intensity
bank revetement
