Abstract
Abstract: Good data analysis is required for the optimal design of water resources projects. 10 However, data are not regularly collected due to material or technical reasons, which results in 11 incomplete-data problems. Available data and data length are of great importance to solve those 12 problems. Various studies have been conducted on missing data treatment. This study used data 13 from the flow observation stations on Yeşilırmak River in Turkey. In the first part of the study, 14 models were generated and compared in order to complete missing data using ANFIS, multiple 15 regression and Normal Ratio Method. In the second part of the study, the minimum number of data 16 required for ANFIS models was determined using the optimum ANFIS model. Of all methods 17 compared in this study, ANFIS models yielded the most accurate results. A 10-year training set was 18 also found to be sufficient as a data set. 19
期刊介绍:
The Journal publishes original research papers and review articles. Researchers from all countries are invited to publish pure or applied ecological, environmental, biogeographical, zoological, botanical, paleontological, biometrical-biomathematical and quantitative ecological or multidisciplinary agricultural research of international interest on its pages.
The focus is on topics such as:
-Community, ecosystem and global ecology-
Biometrics, theoretical- and quantitative ecology-
Multidisciplinary agricultural and environmental research-
Sustainable and organic agriculture, natural resource management-
Ecological methodology, monitoring and modeling-
Biodiversity and ecosystem research, microbiology, botany and zoology-
Biostatistics and modeling in epidemiology, public health and veterinary-
Earth history, paleontology, extinctions, biogeography, biogeochemistry-
Conservation biology, environmental protection-
Ecological economics, natural capital and ecosystem services-
Climatology, meteorology, climate change, climate-ecology.
The Journal publishes theoretical papers as well as application-oriented contributions and practical case studies. There is no bias with regard to taxon or geographical area. Purely descriptive papers (like only taxonomic lists) will not be accepted for publication.
