During this period, over one third of all papers published in these journals concerned time series fore...

analyses and investigations on river flow behavior are major issues in design, operation and studies related to water engineering. thus, recently the application of chaos theory and new techniques, such as chaos theory, has been considered in hydrology and water resources due to relevant innovations and ability. this paper compares the performance of chaos theory with anfis model and discusses ...
