A framework for spatial heat risk assessment using a generalized similarity measure. (arXiv:2202.10963v1 [cs.LG])

In this study, we develop a novel framework to assess health risks due to
heat hazards across various localities (zip codes) across the state of Maryland
with the help of two commonly used indicators i.e. exposure and vulnerability.
Our approach quantifies each of the two aforementioned indicators by developing
their corresponding feature vectors and subsequently computes
indicator-specific reference vectors that signify a high risk environment by
clustering the data points at the tail-end of an empirical risk spectrum. The
proposed …
