Abstract:

The application of chaos theory in hydrology has been gaining considerable interest in recent years.Based on the chaos theory, the random seemingly series can be attributed to deterministic rules. Thedynamic structures of the seemingly complex processes, such as river flow variations, might be betterunderstood using nonlinear deterministic chaotic models than the stochastic ones. In this paper,chaotic behavior of the daily river discharge time series from the BarandozChay, fromSeptember,1983to August, 2009 is investigated. To reconstruct phase space, the time delay and embedding dimensionare needed and for this purpose, Average Mutual Information (AMI) and algorithm of False NearestNeighbors (FNN) wereused. Correlation Dimension method was applied for investigating chaoticbehavior of daily discharge. The delay time and optimum-embedding dimension were obtained 66 and4 respectively. The low amount of correlation dimension (d=3.1) represents the chaotic behavior ofBarandoz river discharge time series.

Some New Methods for Prediction of Time Series by Wavelets

Extended Abstract. Forecasting is one of the most important purposes of time series analysis. For many years, classical methods were used for this aim. But these methods do not give good performance results for real time series due to non-linearity and non-stationarity of these data sets. On one hand, most of real world time series data display a time-varying second order structure. On th...

Chaos Time Series Prediction Based on Membrane Optimization Algorithms

This paper puts forward a prediction model based on membrane computing optimization algorithm for chaos time series; the model optimizes simultaneously the parameters of phase space reconstruction (τ, m) and least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) (γ, σ) by using membrane computing optimization algorithm. It is an important basis for spectrum management to predict accurately the change tr...

Semiparametric Bootstrap Prediction Intervals in time Series

One of the main goals of studying the time series is estimation of prediction interval based on an observed sample path of the process. In recent years, different semiparametric bootstrap methods have been proposed to find the prediction intervals without any assumption of error distribution. In semiparametric bootstrap methods, a linear process is approximated by an autoregressive process. The...

Investigating the Land Use Changes in the Upstream of the Zayandehrood Dam (A Study Case: The Toff-sefid Watershed, Chaharmaha and Bakhtiari Provin

River discharge is among the influential factors on the operation of water resources systems and the design of hydraulic structures, such as dams; so the study of it is of great importance. Several effective factors on this non-linear phenomenon have caused the discharge to be assumed as being accidental. According to the basics the chaos theory, the seemingly random and chaotic systems have re...
