Modeling Hydrologic Change: Statistical Methods is about modeling systems where change has affected data that will be used to calibrate and test models of the systems and where models will be used to forecast system responses after change occurs. The focus is not on the hydrology. Instead, hydrology serves as the discipline from which the applications are drawn to illustrate the principles of modeling and the detection of change. All four elements of the modeling process are discussed: conceptualization, formulation, calibration, and verification. Analysis and synthesis are discussed in order to enable both model builders and users to appreciate the importance of both aspects of modeling. The book.
