The book introduces a variety of different topics in time series in the modeling and prediction of complex environmental systems. Most importantly, all codes are user-friendly and readers will be able to use them for their cases. Users who may not be familiar with MATLAB software can also refer to the appendix.
This book also guides the reader step-by-step to learn developed codes for time series modeling, provides required toolboxes, explains concepts, and applies different tools for different types of environmental time series problems.
- Provides video tutorials on the use of codes
- Includes a companion site with 3,000 lines of programming, 70 principal codes and 100 pseudo codes
- Highlights multiple methods to Illustrate each problem
Environments, Soil science, Water engineering, hydrology, statistics
