Concepts in Probability, Statistics and Stochastic Modeling • Loucks et al., 2005, Chapter 7 Learning Objective • Be able to use probability and statistics to quantify uncertainty and natural variability in physical quantities How Express a Distribution Cumulative Density Probability Density Which method conveys the information best to you? Probability Plot Equation Carl Friedrich Gauß, immortalized A random variable X is a variable whose outcomes (values) are governed by the laws of chance. 0.30 Probability density function 0.20 0.10 x1 0.00 f (x)dx f(x) P( x1 X x 2 ) x2 0 2 4 6 x 8 10 12 Cumulative distribution function f (x )dx 0.4 F(x) dF f (x) dx 0.8 0.0 F( x ) P( X x ) x2 0 2 4 6 x 8 10 12 Continuous and Discrete Random Variables From: Loucks, D.

Refer to: Press, W. H., B. P. Flannery, S. A. Teukolsky and W. T. Vetterling, (1988), Numerical Recipes in C : The Art of Scientific Computing, Cambridge University Press, New York, 735 p. • Congruential method rnext remainder of [( rprev a c) m] • Each r is an integer random number between 0 and m-1. by (m-1) gives a number between 0 and 1 that repeats after at most m numbers. Numerical recipes gives "good" choices for a, c and m. • R has built in functions runif to generate uniform random numbers, as well as other distributions, e.g rnorm, rgamma.

It is defined as: z = (x -1)/ ; 0 z = ln(x); = 0 where z is the transformed data, x is the original data and is the transformation parameter. Box-Cox Normalization So… the log looked OK ( = 0). Is that what we really want? Let’s skip the derivations for now and look at the answer for our three proposed methods. Determining Transformation Parameters • Trial and error: apply a series of trial lambda values and evaluate statistic. • PPCC (Filliben’s Statistic): R2 of best fit line of the QQplot • Kolomgorov-Smirnov (KS) Test (any distribution): p-value • Shapiro-Wilks Test for Normality: p-value Quantiles Rank the data pi 0.6 i n 1 0.2 prob( X x i ) F(y) x1 x2 x3 . . . xn Theoretical distribution, e.g. Standard Normal -3 -2 -1 0 qi1 2 3 y qi is the distribution specific theoretical quantile associated with ranked data value xi Quantile-Quantile Plots 7 6 5 3 4 Sample Quantiles 3000 2000 1000 0 Sample Quantiles xi ln(xi) 8 Normal Q-Q Plot QQ-plot for Log-Transformed Flows 4000 Normal QQ-plot for Q-Q RawPlot Flows -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 -3 -2 -1 0 1 Theoretical Quantiles Theoretical Quantiles qi qi Need transformation to make the Raw flows Normally distributed. 2 3 Example: Determining Transformation Parameters • Alafia River historical monthly flows • Evaluate using all three criteria • Test a range of lambda values from -2 to 2 by 0.1 for Filliben’s and KS • Test a range of lambda values from -1 to 1 by 0.1 for Shapiro-Wilks (errors for larger lambda values).
