Evaluation of Probabilistic Point Estimate Methods in Uncertainty Analysis for Environmental Engineering Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper begins with a comprehensive review of various point estimate methods, with an emphasis on their differences and similarities in theory and application. The Rosenblueth probabilistic point estimate method is a ...
Application of Hilbert-Huang Transform Method for Analyzing Toxic Concentrations in the Niagara River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A novel application of the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) method for the analysis of nonstationary and nonlinear time series is proposed in this paper. The HHT is introduced to the field of water quality analysis both to ...
Incorporating Reliability into the Definition of the Margin of Safety in Total Maximum Daily Load Calculations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the calculation of the total maximum daily load (TMDL), the margin of safety (MOS) is an attempt to account for the uncertainties related to the conceptual representation of the system and the inherently random nature ...
