Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEMPIRICAL DETERMINATION OF THE AVERAGE ANNUAL RUNOFF COEFFICIENT IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AREAGiovanni Grillone, Giorgio Baiamonte, Francesco D’AsaroRunoff estimation in ungauged basin is a challenge for the hydrological engineers and planners. For any hydrological study on an ungauged basin, a methodology has to be appropriately selected for the determination of runoff at its outlet. Several methods have been used to estimate the basin runoff production. In this study the empirical Kennessey method to determine average annual runoff … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 5 Dec 2013 · 8,225 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE RATE FUNCTION OF S-MIXING PROCESS AND ITS APPLICATION IN EVALUATING EMPIRICAL LIKELIHOOD TESTSXing WangIn this study we show that the rate function of S-Mixing stationary process with part of the hypermixing condition is equivalent to the Kullback-Leibler distance. This finding can be used to extend the result of the optimality of empirical likelihood test in i.i.d setting to weakly depended case, so that the Asymptotic Relative Efficiency (ARE) of the empirical likelihood test … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2013 · 6,618 accessesView PDFCite
