Agricultural drought periods analysis by using nonhomogeneous poisson models and regionalization of appropriate model parameters
Precipitation has a dominant role in agriculture, and a regular rain pattern is usually vital to agriculture; excessive or inadequate rainfall can be harmful. In this paper, an agricultural drought index is utilized to study the agricultural drought periods and analyze them with their intensities at...

Precipitation has a dominant role in agriculture, and a regular rain pattern is usually vital to agriculture; excessive or inadequate rainfall can be harmful. In this paper, an agricultural drought index is utilized to study the agricultural drought periods and analyze them with their intensities at various locations. Some nonhomogeneous Poisson models are also used to calculate the probability of agricultural droughts (number of times occurred) in a time interval of interest. It is to be assumed that the number of agricultural drought event occurrences is a Nonhomogeneous Poisson Process (NHPP) has a rate function, which depends on some parameters that must be estimated. Two cases of these functions are considered: the Weibull and linear intensity function. The Bayesian approach with Gibbs sampling under the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm is used to estimate the parameters of these functions. The most appropriate fitted model is selected by using Deviance Information Criteria (DIC) and use that appropriately fitted model to calculate the accumulated events of agricultural drought in a time interval of interest at each location. Ordinary Kriging (OK) is used to regionalize the parameters and present its spatial behavior.
