REPORT of STAHY-WG Session at EGU Scientific Assembly
During the European Geophysical Union – EGU Scientific Assembly the third iniziative promoted by STAHY Working Group was held in Vienna on April 20th.
STAHY WG sponsored the session “Recent Development of Statistical Tools for Hydrological Application” characterized by 11 posters and 10 oral contributions (listed below).
The major contribution topics were related to Singular System Analysis, Bayesian Sprectral Likelihood, Wavelets and Inference procedure for estreme value analysis.
Many types of applications were presented using different data sets (Rainfall, Runoff, Nitrate concentration).
Particular interesting were the contribution of Dr. K. H. Hamed on Kendall test and time series persistence influence on it.
