Analysis of Uncertainty of Rainfall Frequency Analysis Including Extreme Rainfall Events
Journal of Korea Water Resources Association, 2010 극치사상을 예측하기 위한 기존의 빈도분석 결과의 이용에 대한 많은 문제점들이 부각되고 있다. 특히, 통계적 모형을 이용하기 위해서 흔히 사용되는 점근적 모형 (asymptotic model)의 합리적인 검토 없는 외삽 (extrapolation)은 산정된 확률 값을 과대 또는 과소평가하는 문제를 일으켜, 예측결과에 대한 불확실성을 과다하게 산정함으로써 불확실성에 대한 신뢰도를 감소시키는 문제가 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 국내에서 극치강우사상을 포함한 강우자료의 빈도분석에 대한 연구사례를 제공하고 점근적 모형을 사용하는 경우 발생되는 불확실성을 감소시키기 위한 방법론을 제시하였다.

Impact of Biomimetic Pinna Shape Variation on Clutter Echoes: A Machine Learning Approach
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Bats with dynamic ear structures navigate dense, echo‐rich environments, yet the echoes they receive are highly random. This study shows that machine learning can reliably detect structural signatures in these seemingly chaotic biosonar signals. The results open new directions for biologically inspired sensing, where time‐varying receiver shapes ...

Brief communication "Climatic covariates for the frequency analysis of heavy rainfall in the Mediterranean region" [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2011 In Mediterranean regions, climate studies indicate for the future a possible increase in the extreme rainfall events occurrence and intensity. To evaluate the future changes in the extreme event distribution, there is a need to provide non-stationary ...
