A 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 کاملUncertainty Analysis of Multi-Model Flood Forecasts
This paper demonstrates, by means of a systematic uncertainty analysis, that the use of outputs from more than one model can significantly improve conditional forecasts of discharges or water stages, provided the models are structurally different. Discharge forecasts from two models and the actual forecasted discharge are assumed to form a three-dimensional joint probability density distributio...
متن کاملHazard Estimation with Flexible Tails
Polynomial splines are used to estimate the log-hazard function based on possibly censored, positive data. Two additional log terms are incorporated into the fitted model for the log-hazard function to allow for greater flexibility in the extreme tails. A fully automatic procedure involving the maximum likelihood method, stepwise knot addition, stepwise knot deletion and BIC is used to select t...

متن کاملPseudo-Likelihood Inference Underestimates Model Uncertainty: Evidence from Bayesian Nearest Neighbours
When using the K-nearest neighbours (KNN) method, one often ignores the uncertainty in the choice of K. To account for such uncertainty, Bayesian KNN (BKNN) has been proposed and studied (Holmes and Adams 2002 Cucala et al. 2009). We present some evidence to show that the pseudo-likelihood approach for BKNN, even after being corrected by Cucala et al. (2009), still significantly underest...
