9780365690313 - Application of the Extreme Value Statistical Distribution to Annual Precipitation and Crop Yields (Classic Reprint) di Brakensiek, Donald L. (1 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the application of extreme value theory to annual precipitation and crop yields, providing a method to characterize their dependability. The author demonstrates that this statistical distribution can effectively represent the occurrence of extreme events, such as high precipitation or low crop yields, in arid regions. The book discusses the limitations of traditional regression techniques in evaluating crop dependability and presents the advantages of using extreme value theory, highlighting its simplicity and ability to consider all factors influencing crop yields. Through examples and case studies, the author illustrates the practical applications of this theory, enabling readers to assess the risk and variability associated with crop production in different locations. This book offers valuable insights for farmers, agricultural researchers, and policymakers seeking to optimize crop management strategies and mitigate the impact of extreme weather events.
