introduction: fao aquacrop model (raes et al., 2009a; steduto et al., 2009) is a user-friendly and practitioner oriented type of model, because it maintains an optimal balance between accuracy, robustness, and simplicity; and it requires a relatively small number of model input parameters. the fao aquacrop model predicts crop productivity, water requirement, and water use efficiency under water...

in this paper, we study the classical sensitivity analysis when the right - hand – side vector, and the coefficients of the objective function are allowed to vary.

metric (mapping evapotranspiration at high resolution with internalized calibration) is known as an appropriate surface energy balance model for the estimation of the spatial distribution of evapotranspiration (et) in semi-arid regions. based on lysimeter measurements, metric has shown et estimates of 10% on a sub-field scale on a daily basis. there is a need to identify how the model is sensit...

this study analyses the concept of cost functions for semi-automated straddle carrier (sc), rubber tyred gantry (rtg) and automated rail mounted gantry (rmg) container yard operating cranes. it develops a generic cost based model for a pair-wise comparison, analysis and evaluation of economic efficiency and effectiveness of container yard equipment to be used for decision-making by terminal pla...

sensitivity analysis might be considered as one of inevitable steps in modelling since it would help to determine the behaviour of model, which was developed for further application. sensitivity analysis was not paid much attention in studies that have been conducted for modelling the relationship between stream water quality and land cover except machine learning techniques such as artificial ...

one of the important issues in data envelopment analysis (dea) is sensitivity analysis. heretofore the existent studies have considered the data modification of inputs and outputs in one or multiple dmus. in this paper the number of dmus is increased and a stability region is obtained in  by applying defining hyperplanes in which if the added dmu (only one dmu) is in this region then all of the...

mpsiac is currently known as an appropriate method to measure sediment ofwatershed basins of the country while there has not been any sensitivity analysis so far forthis method. in this study, required data for mpsiac model were gathered from six basins;amame-kamarkhani, kand-golandok, tang kenesht (from two different references), nojian(from three different references), pegahe sorkh katvand (f...
