Imputation Methods for Missing Hydrometeorological Data Estimation
暫譯: 缺失水文氣象數據估算的插補方法

缺失數據是一個普遍存在的問題，困擾著許多水文氣象數據集。需要客觀且穩健的空間和時間插補方法來估算缺失數據，並創建無錯誤、無缺口且時間上連續的數據。本書是一本全面的指南和參考資料，涵蓋了基本和進階的插補及數據驅動方法，用於填補缺失的水文氣象數據。本書詳細介紹了不同的插補方法，如空間和時間插值、通用函數逼近以及數據挖掘輔助的插補方法。它還介紹了創新的空間確定性和隨機方法，重點在於控制點的客觀選擇和最佳空間插值。本書還廣泛涵蓋了新興的機器學習技術，這些技術可用於空間和時間插值方案，以及用於評估插補方法和驗證填補數據的誤差和性能指標。本書展示了這些方法在現實世界水文氣象數據中的實際應用。它將滿足廣泛受眾的需求，從氣候學、水文學和地球科學的研究生和研究人員，到涉及水文氣象和氣候數據處理和使用的政府機構和私營企業的水工程專業人士。

Dr. Ramesh Teegavarapu (Dr. T.) is a professor and a former graduate program director in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geomatics Department at Florida Atlantic University (FAU), Boca Raton, Florida, and founder and leader of the Hydrosystems Research Laboratory (HRL) in the department.
