A new method based on artificial bee colony programming for the regional standardized intensity–duration‒frequency relationship

Tefaruk HAKTANIR

The aim of this study was to develop new analytical models to defne the regional rainfall intensity−duration−frequency (IDF) relationship for the Inland Anatolia Region, which is determined discretely by the L-Moments method at many values of rainfall durations and frequencies. First, the parameters of each one of nine commonly used empirical equations were calibrated to provide the best possible defnition of the IDF relationship for the Inland Anatolia Region. Next, analytical models best ftted to the IDF relationship of the L-Moments method were generated by the artifcial bee colony programm ...Daha fazlası
