the aim of this research is the study of trends in annual precipitation changes in some selected stations located in the sefid rood basin, applying the man-kendall non-parametric technique. the method is one of the most frequently used non-parametric techniques for trend analysis of precipitation on an annual scale. six synoptic stations located in the sefid rood basin were selected for the ana...

Extreme temperature of several stations in Malaysia is modelled by fitting the monthly maximum to the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution. The Mann-Kendall (MK) test suggests a non-stationary model. Two models are considered for stations with trend and the Likelihood Ratio test is used to determine the best-fitting model. Results show that half of the stations favour a model which is l...

in this study, long-term trends and abrupt changes of hydro-climatic variables was investigated in the observed period 1971-2000 for aidoghmoush basin using mann-kendall nonparametric test and cumulative curve of climatic variables-runoff, respectively. results show decrease trends for rainfall and runoff and increase trend for temperature by the mann-kendall test with a confidence level of 99%...

Kendall Rank Correlation Let (X1, Y1), · · · , (Xn, Yn) be a bivariate random sample of size n. The Pearson correlation coefficient provides an optimal measure of the degree of association between the X’s and the Y ’s when the sample is drawn from a bivariate normal distribution. The Pearson correlation coefficient is reasonably robust for many other distributions as well. The Kendall correlati...

The Pre-Whitening (PW), the Trend-Free Pre-Whitening (TFPW) and the Modified Trend-Free PreWhitening (MTFPW) were developed to remove the influence of serial correlations on the MannKendall trend test. The main purpose of this study was to compare the performance of these algorithms for evaluating trends in auto-correlated series. The PW, TFPW and MTFPW were also applied to the monthly values o...

from the viewpoint of many experts in climatology, climate fluctuation is considered a natural phenomenon repeated in the course of a long-term cycle. this study will analyze the elements of temperature, precipitation and evaporation in the northern mountains of the karkas range in terms of seasonal and annual cycles, using a non-parametric test of man-kendall during two time periods from 1980 ...
