Development of Hierarchical Bayesian Spatial Regional Frequency Analysis Model Considering Geographical Characteristics

A Bayesian hierarchical approach to regional frequency analysis

A Bayesian Hierarchical Approach To Regional 1 Frequency Analysis

Regional Frequency Analysis (RFA) has a long history in Hy-3 drology, and numerous distinct approaches have been proposed over the year 4 to perform the estimation of some hydrologic quantity at a regional level. 5 However, most of these approaches still rely on strong hypotheses that may 6 limit their application and complicate the quantification of predictive un-7 certainty. The objective of ...

A regional Bayesian POT model for flood frequency analysis

Flood Frequency Analysis is usually based on the fitting of an extreme value distribution to the series of local streamflow. However, when the local data series is short, frequency analysis results become unreliable. Regional frequency analysis is a convenient way to reduce the estimation uncertainty. In this work, we propose a regional Bayesian model for short record length sites. This model i...

HBGG: a Hierarchical Bayesian Geographical Model for Group Recommendation

Location-based social networks such as Foursquare and Plancast have gained increasing popularity. On those sites, users can organize and participate in group activities; hence, recommending venues to a group is of practical importance. In this paper, we study the problem of recommending venues to groups of users and propose a Hierarchical Bayesian Model (HBGG) for this purpose. First, a generat...

Regional Development and Spatial Planning in Bulgaria: geographical perspectives

In the recent years the development process in Bulgaria came into a very controversial manner of functioning. On the one hand there has been macroeconomic progress and stabilization but on the other side the regional disparities and differentiation has deepened. The regions that have been influenced in the main by direct foreign investments were marked by the high growth rates, such as in the c...
