The study of agricultural flood return period in Can watershed
Background and objective: Natural disasters have always endangered human lives. Flood is one of the most important natural disasters that impose many damages every year in different parts of Iran. This paper tries to study flood and characteristics of Can watershed in Tehran province. The main purpose of this paper is to consider the challenges of flood management in agriculture and provide app...
متن کاملBivariate Return Period for Design Hyetograph and Relationship with T-Year Design Flood Peak
This study focuses on the return period evaluation for design hyetographs, which is usually estimated by adopting a univariate statistical approach. Joint Return Period (JRP) and copula-based multivariate analysis are used in this work to better define T-year synthetic rainfall patterns which can be used as input for design flood peak estimation by means of hydrological simulation involving rai...
متن کاملSimple likelihood and probability
SUMMARY Linkage analysis using all available pedigree data can be extremely complicated. We point out that by suitably restricting the data to the most informative nuclear families, we may be able to make a simple analysis for linkage between two loci without too much loss of information. The method can be readily extended to cases of heterogeneity, where there may be more than one cause of the...
متن کاملLikelihood, Probability, and Knowledge
The modal logic LL was introduced by Halpern and Rabin [HR] as a means of doing qualitative reasoning about likelihood. Here the relationship between LL and probability theory is examined. It is shown that there is a way of translating probability assertions into LL in a sound manner, so that LL in some sense can capture the probabilistic interpretation of likelihood. However, the translation i...
متن کاملReturn probability on a lattice
To begin, we consider a basic example of a discrete first passage process. Consider an unbiased Bernoulli walk on the integers starting at the origin. We wish to determine the probability, R, that the walker eventually returns to 0, regardless of the number of steps it takes. Without loss of generality, say the walker’s first step is to 1. From here, the walker can either step left to 0 or can ...
