Modelling persistence in annual Australia point rainfall [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2003 Annual rainfall time series for Sydney from 1859 to 1999 is analysed. Clear evidence of nonstationarity is presented, but substantial evidence for persistence or hidden states is more elusive. A test of the hypothesis that a hidden state Markov model
