Space Time Modelling of Precipitation Using Hidden Markov Models
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a new hidden Markov model (HMM) for the space-time evolution of daily rainfall. The hidden Markov chain represents the different meteorological regimes (“weather types”) and it is assumed that this variable explains the dynamics of the precipitation. The spatial structure within hidden weather types is modelled by censored power-transformed Gaussian distributions. It provides flexible and interpretable multivariate models for the mixed discretecontinuous variables that describe both precipitation, when it occurs, and no precipitation. The model is fitted to rainfall data from a small network of stations in New Zealand encompassing a diverse range of orographic effects and it is shown that the proposed model provides a better description of the spatial structure of precipitation than a more conventional HMM commonly used in the literature.

متن کاملIntroducing Busy Customer Portfolio Using Hidden Markov Model
Due to the effective role of Markov models in customer relationship management (CRM), there is a lack of comprehensive literature review which contains all related literatures. In this paper the focus is on academic databases to find all the articles that had been published in 2011 and earlier. One hundred articles were identified and reviewed to find direct relevance for applying Markov models...
متن کاملAbnormality Detection in a Landing Operation Using Hidden Markov Model
The air transport industry is seeking to manage risks in air travels. Its main objective is to detect abnormal behaviors in various flight conditions. The current methods have some limitations and are based on studying the risks and measuring the effective parameters. These parameters do not remove the dependency of a flight process on the time and human decisions. In this paper, we used an HMM...
متن کاملHybrid Mobile Robot Localization using Switching State-Space Models
In this paper we focus on one of the most important issues for autonomous mobile robots: their ability to localize themselves safely and reliably within their environments. We propose a probabilistic franiework for modelling the robot’s state and sensory information based on a Switching State-Space Model. The proposed framework generalizes two of the most successful probabilistic model families...
