We investigated the relationship between the temporal monitoring series routinely recorded at Mt. Etna and the flank eruptions that occurred between January 2001 and April 2005 by the K-contractive map (K-CM) method pattern classifier with supervised learning. The reference dataset includes 28 variables and 1580 records collected over 52 months for a total of 301 eruptive days. A two-step analysis was performed. In the first step analysis, we used the 28 parameters of each day to recognize anomalies heralding a flank eruption. K-CM estimated a sensitivity higher than 95% and a specificity close to 100%. In the second step analysis, we considered each record comprising the 28 variables for 6 days as an input (for a total of 180 inputs) and the outcomes of the seventh day as an output to predict eruption or rest. In this case, K-CM showed sensitivity and specificity close to 98% and 100%, respectively. Results highlight the reliability of the K-CM method to build up a prediction algorithm able to alert the volcano experts a day before the occurrence of a potential flank eruption. The robustness of the two analyses was investigated by the behavior of the receiver operating characteristic curve. The relative area under the curve showed values close to 1, thus providing a valid measure of the performance of the classifier. Finally, a complete overview of the performance levels of the method used was explored analyzing the retrieved Molchan error diagram, in both cases, trajectories very close to the theoretical minimum.
