Reconstructing the history of forest fire frequency – Identifying hazard rate change points using the Bayes ’ infor - mation criterion
نویسنده
چکیده
A problem in model selection, namely the identification of multiple change points for a piece-wise constant hazard rate, is discussed. A methodology using the Bayes’ Information Criterion is developed in an overdispersed survival model (with corresponding quasi-likelihood function). The technique is used to identify changes in the historical frequency of forest fire. It is applied to two datasets derived from time-since-fire maps in the Canadian Rockies.

Investigation of forest fire hazard areas in Golestan province based on fire risk system index (FRSI) using the technique (GIS)
Abstract Fire in natural resources is one of the crises that causes irreparable damage to ecosystems and the environment every year. The purpose of this research is to attempt to study areas of risk aversion and to prepare a map of forest fire hazard area by integrating topographic data and other additional information from a GIS system for Golestan province. In order to carry out this resear...

Forest fire in recent years has paid great attention to climate change and ecosystems. Remote sensing is a quick and inexpensive way to detect and monitor forest fires on a large scale. The purpose of this study was to identify forest and rangeland fire hazards using NOAA / AVHRR in Kayamaki Wildlife Refuge. For the purpose of this study, the history of the fire-burns occurred in MODIS products...

Forest fire models are generally used in different aspects of fire management and are helpful in understanding and prediction of fire behavior. Forest fires cause a significant damage for public property by destroying a large tract of forest. This helps fire fighters to focus on an area with greater risk and to develop better substructure for fire fighter training and ultimately to plan fire-f...

Forest fire brings forest destruction as an important part of human environments, air pollution, and the loss of wealth and facilities, and endangers the lives of human beings in the vicinity of the forest. It is one of the examples of natural crises and is considered to be a crisis management. Identifying the effective factors in the occurrence of fire and hazard zoning is one of the basic too...
