Researchers have developed a new ensemble machine learning framework to predict groundwater heavy metal pollution in the Densu Basin. The study integrated response transformations, including a Gaussian copula, with six different machine learning algorithms. The Gaussian copula approach yielded the most reliable results, achieving an R-squared of 0.96 and improving model residuals for more accurate spatial predictions. The analysis also identified iron and manganese as key contributors to the heavy metal pollution index. AI
