“Data-Driven Modeling: Using MATLAB® in Water Resources and
Environmental Engineering” provides a systematic account of major
concepts and methodologies for data-driven models and presents a unified
framework that makes the subject more accessible to and applicable for
researchers and practitioners. It integrates important theories and
applications of data-driven models and uses them to deal with a wide
range of problems in the field of water resources and environmental
engineering such as hydrological forecasting, flood analysis, water
quality monitoring, regionalizing climatic data, and general function
approximation. The book presents the statistical-based models
including basic statistical analysis, nonparametric and logistic
regression methods, time series analysis and modeling, and support
vector machines. It also deals with the analysis and modeling based on
artificial intelligence techniques including static and dynamic neural
networks, statistical neural networks, fuzzy inference systems, and
fuzzy regression. The book also discusses hybrid models as well as
multi-model data fusion to wrap up the covered models and techniques. The
source files of relatively simple and advanced programs demonstrating
how to use the models are presented together with practical advice on
how to best apply them. The programs, which have been developed using
the MATLAB® unified platform, can be found on extras.springer.com. The
main audience of this book includes graduate students in water
resources engineering, environmental engineering, agricultural
engineering, and natural resources engineering. This book may be adapted
for use as a senior undergraduate and graduate textbook by focusing on
selected topics. Alternatively, it may also be used as a valuable
resource book for practicing engineers, consulting engineers, scientists
and others involved in water resources and environmental engineering
