Hazard function analysis for flood planning under nonstationarity
The field of hazard function analysis (HFA) involves a probabilistic assessment of the ‘‘time to failure’’ or ‘‘return period,’’ T, of an event of interest. HFA is used in epidemiology, manufacturing, medicine, actuarial statistics, reliability engineering, economics, and elsewhere. For a stationary process, the probability distribution function (pdf) of the return period always follows an expo...
متن کاملA high‐resolution global flood hazard model†
Floods are a natural hazard that affect communities worldwide, but to date the vast majority of flood hazard research and mapping has been undertaken by wealthy developed nations. As populations and economies have grown across the developing world, so too has demand from governments, businesses, and NGOs for modeled flood hazard data in these data-scarce regions. We identify six key challenges ...
متن کاملFlood loss footprint characterization via hazard simulation
Established in 1984, the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center develops and promotes effective corporate and public policies for low-probability events with potentially catastrophic consequences through the integration of risk assessment, and risk perception with risk management strategies. Natural disasters, technological hazards, and national and international security issues ...
متن کاملSmall area estimation under spatial nonstationarity
In this paper a geographical weighted pseudo empirical best linear unbiased predictor (GWEBLUP) for small area averages is proposed, and two approaches for estimating its mean squared error (MSE), a conditional approach and an unconditional one, are developed. The popular empirical best linear unbiased predictor (EBLUP) under the linear mixed model and its associated MSE estimator are obtained ...
متن کاملFlood Hazard Assessment Using Panchromatic Satellite Imagery
Panchromatic (PAN) satellite imagery has been used successfully in different applications such as topographic mapping and terrain modelling. Nevertheless, PAN imagery is still one of the less used digital sources for land-change studies except few processes where the high-resolution of the PAN images is used to improve the visualization quality of the multi-spectral images. This research aimed ...
