Li, Wei (author), Zhu, Lehong (author), Xie, Guohu (author), Hu, Peng (author), de Vriend, H.J. (author)The past decades have witnessed frequent flood peak discharges increase in the Lower Yellow River (LYR). Yet no consensus for its mechanism has been achieved. Here 21 events of the peak discharge increase (PDI) in the period of 1973–2012 are analysed. It is shown that the mean increment of peak discharge increases from 810 m<sup>3</sup>/s to...journal article 2022

Zhu, K. (author), Kurowicka, D. (author)Multivariate statistical models can be simplified by assuming that a pattern of conditional independence is presented in the given data. A popular way of capturing the (conditional) independence is to use probabilistic graphical models. The relationship between strongly chordal graphs and m-saturated vines is proved. Moreover, an algorithm to...journal article 2022
