Regionalization of unit hydrograph parameters. I: Comparison of regression analysis techniques. (English) Zbl 0880.76060
This study develops regional regression equations that relate two parameters in Nash’s IUH model to the basin characteristics for 42 major water-sheds in Taiwan. In the process of developing the regional equations, different regression procedures including the conventional univariate regression, multivariate regression, and seemingly unrelated regression were used. Furthermore, a validation study was conducted to examine the predictability of regional equations derived by different regression procedures.
