Abstract: Highlights•The sign-constrained regularized regressions were added to land use regression (LUR) model.•The sign-constrained regression methods showed superior prediction performances than LUR method.•The sign-constrained regression models satisfied domain knowledge-based sign constraints.•The developed models could enhance the interpretability.
