Flood forecasting using an improved NARX network based on wavelet analysis coupled with uncertainty analysis by Monte Carlo simulations: a case study of Taihu Basin, China

Reliable flood forecasting can provide a scientific basis for flood risk assessment and water resources management, and the Taihu water level forecasting with high precision is essential for flood control in the Taihu Basin. To increase the prediction accuracy, a coupling model (DWT-iNARX) is establ...
