dc.description.abstractFluoride in groundwater has been found to pose a severe public health threat in two villages (Karataş and Sarım) of western Sanliurfa in the southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey, where many cases of fluorosis, which detrimentally affects the teeth and bones, have been reported. Analysis of fluoride in drinking water is usually accomplished using various chemical methods, but while these techniques produce accurate and reliable results, they are expensive, labor-intensive, and cumbersome. In this study, a more cost-effective alternative, based on machine learning methods, is introduced. In this case, artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), and Naïve Bayes classifiers are utilized. Furthermore, a novel feature selection and ranking method known as Normalized Weighted Voting Map (NWVM) is presented. In Fisher discrimination power (FDP) scores, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) variables have higher discrimination power potential than X-Ray diffraction (XRD) attributes, the most salient feature being Zr (0.464) and CaO (219.993) from XRD and XRF, respectively. When the XRD and XRF parameters are classified separately for the effect of NWVM ranking scores on the fluoride values and dental fluoride in groundwater, CaO, SiO2, MgO, Fe2O3, P2O5, and K2O (for XRF) and Quartz and Zr (for XRD) present a stronger effect. In addition, when looking at the effects among themselves, the first order is the same XRF parameters and then the XRD parameters. Experiments revealed that XRF constituents including CaO, SiO2, MgO, P2O5, and K2O have higher class discrimination power than the XRD variables. © 2021, Saudi Society for Geosciences.
