Journal of Architectural Environment & Structural Engineering Research is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal aimed at an international audience. With the rapid growth of the built environment, the physical environment has seen a sharp decline. By offering a cross-disciplinary approach, the journal aims to promote the latest innovations in the field of environment management and mitigate the disparity in the progression of both natural and man-made environments. View all aims and scope.

Tree-based ensemble models such as Random Forest and XGBoost often achieve high numerical accuracy; however, their discrete decision splitting mechanisms inherently produce stepwise response trends that may not reflect the smooth and continuous nature of material...
