Statistical Characteristics of Hydrologic Time Series

Any hydrologic time series can be appropriately analyzed when knowledge about the basic statistical characteristics of the data series itself is first considered. Many time series analysis procedures are based on the assumptions that the time series possess certain characteristics which, in fact, are not true (Adeloye and Montaseri, 2002; Helsel and Hirsch, 2002; Rao et al., 2003). The results of such analyses based on false assumptions may provide incorrect and unreliable interpretations, or unnecessarily inconclusive. Therefore, it is essential to know about the common characteristics of hydrologic time series, which can help in selecting appropriate data analysis procedures for a given hydrologic time series.
