Higher variability in rainfall and river discharge could be of major importance in landslide generation in the northwestern Argentine Andes. Annual layered (varved) deposits of a landslide dammed lake in the Santa Maria Basin (26 S, 66 W) with an age of 30,000 C years provide an archive of precipitation variability during this time. The comparison of these data with present-day rainfall observa...

Industrial agglomeration has gradually become an economic focus in recent years. Scholars has done a lot of research about the formation mechanism of industry agglomeration and its influencing factors, but the spatial correlation of variables has still been neglected. Firstly this paper gives a brief introduction about Geoda software and Matlab neural network toolbox, then use spatial statistic...

This work provides a preliminary study on applying state-of-the-art time-series forecasting methods to electrical energy consumption data recorded by smart metering equipment. We compare a custom-build commercial baseline method to modern ensemble-based methods from statistical time-series analysis and to a modern commercial GP system. Our preliminary results indicate that that modern ensemble-...

Qualitative evaluation and comparison of changes of indications of objects having different nature is used by designers, managers, people making decisions (PMD) and experts to make the decisions more reasonable. For suport of such activity on the analysis of changes of data connected with certain dates and time intervals, models of fuzzy time series are applied. In this article a model of fuzzy...
