In Deliverable 10.1, a optimal methodology for combining precipitation information
from raingauges, radar and NWP models (in this case HIRLAM) was described. It
was based on an artificial neural network combination model, ...
Tackling the problem of eutrophication in fresh waters is at the top of the agenda for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) in Europe. The problem is caused primarily by an increase in phosphorus loading ...
For many good and practical reasons, lumped rainfall-runoff models are widely used to represent a catchment‟s response to rainfall. However, they have some acknowledged limitation, some of which are addressed here using a ...
For over 30 years various micro and macro models have been used for analysing masonry, but no strong consensus within the structural engineering community exists as to usage. Selection remains driven by field scenarios, ...
A new family of mixture models for the model-based clustering of longitudinal data is introduced.
The covariance structures of eight members of this new family of models are given and the associated maximum likelihood ...
Phosphorous has been implicated as the primary cause of the deterioration of surface water quality in Ireland. Extensive water quality surveys revealed that diffuse sources (runoff and subsurface flows) from agricultural ...

This paper presents the econometric approach to causal modeling. It is motivated by policy
problems. New causal parameters are defined and identified to address specific policy
problems. Economists embrace a scientific ...

In this note we study the implications on a bivariate normal Roy Model of two sets of monotonicity hypotheses proposed recently by Manski and Pepper (2000). In that simple context, we show that these hypotheses imply strong ...
