Course Objectives
The aim of this course is to introduce the basic tools of statistical techniques in planning, analysis and design of water structures related to hydrology and water resources engineering. The course materials enable the senior CE students to introduce the knowledge of the commonly used methods into hydro system enginneering.
Course Content
Introduction to role of probability, statistics and uncertainty. Random variables for analytical modeling, parameter estimation techniques. Discrete and continuous probability distribution functions. Point and regional frequency analysis using L-moment ratio. Testing statistical hypothesis with applications.
Course Learning Outcomes
This course is planned to fill the gap between statistics, engineering hydrology and water resources engineering and other technical elective courses offered in the field of hydrosystems with real world data exercises and examples.
