Dual-permeability models have been developed to account for the significant effects of macropore flow on contaminant transport, but their use is hampered by difficulties in estimating the additional parameters required. Therefore, our objective was to evaluate data requirements for parameter identification for predictive modeling with the dual-permeability model MACRO. Two different approaches ...

The paper is devoted to the problem of incorporating prior information in the regression analysis. Some indices of uncertainty of the prior knowledge are proposed and their usefulness is studied. To incorporate prior information together with its uncertainty into regression estimation some coefficients of uncertainty are introduced as well. Performance of estimators based upon proposed descript...
