Use of a model-based gradient boosting framework to assess spatial and non-linear effects of variables on pedestrian crash frequency at macro-level

This paper presents a study that evaluates the nature of the associations (i.e., linear or non-linear) between built environment variables and pedestrian crash frequency at the census block group l...
