Correlation analysis | The statistical methods to test the closeness with which two (or more) phenomena co-vary. | | Similar Terms |

Correlation coefficient | A measure of the interdependence between two variates. It is usually a pure number which varies between -1 and +1 with the intermediate value zero indicating the absence of correlation, but not necessarily the independence of the variates. Usually denoted by the symbol r...... | | Similar Terms |

Multiple correlation | The relationship between several sets of data, or several quantities, one of whom is a dependent variate and the others are independent variables, as determined by statistical techniques and expressed as an equation. For example, the effect on flood season runoff, a dependent variate, of such independent variables as antecedent rainfall, groundwate..... | | Similar Terms |

Coefficient of multiple correlation | The product-moment correlation between the actual values of the dependent variate in multiple regression and the values as given by the regression equation. It measures the closeness of the combined association between a number of independent variables and the dependent variate. The coefficient is usually denoted by R but is regarded essentially, n..... | | Similar Terms |

Serial correlation | The correlation between members of a time series (or space series) and the members lagging behind, or leading, by a fixed distance in time (or space). The deviations of time series observations from their population means are dependent upon one another. Serial correlation refers to correlation among values of dependent variates other than the corre..... | | Similar Terms |

Auto-correlation | 1. Statistical relation between the magnitude of an event in a time series at a certain time and of the magnitude and the event at certain period earlier. 2.

Gravity method (two-dimensional method of analysis) | A method for stress analysis of gravity dams assuming the structure of the dam to be composed of vertical cantilever elements that act independently of each other while the vertical stress varies linearly...... | | Similar Terms |

Cracked cantilever analysis | In thin arch dams the applied radial loads tend to produce tension in the cantilevers. Since ordinary concrete is usually not assumed to have a tensile strength more than a specified value (say, 20 kg/cm2) and when this specified value of stress is exceeded all the cantilevers in tension may be assumed to be cracked to the point of zero stress so t..... | | Similar Terms |

Environmental impact analysis | A more‑or‑less formal consideration of the interaction of a proposed human activity with environmental elements that might be affected by the activity. Includes a determination of the probable effect of the activity on social and economic conditions. Assessment of impact generally involves two major elements ‑ a quantitative measure of magni..... | | Similar Terms |

Risk assessment/analysis | A methodology to determine the nature and extent of risk by analysing potential hazards and evaluating existing conditions of vulnerability that could pose a potential threat or harm to people, property, livelihoods and the environment on which they depend. ..... | | Similar Terms |

Flood frequency analysis | The estimation of the frequency of occurrence of floods at a site. Flood frequency analysis generally consists of attempting to fit a probability distribution to flood discharge data and generalise the results for use at sites with no flood data. Many techniques have been proposed and are in use...... | | Similar Terms |

Dam break analysis | The analysis of the flood flows resulting from postulated conditions of partial or total failure of a water storage dam. Such analyses are particularly important where a significant population would be put at risk by such a failure, and would define conditions for flood warning criteria, as well as for safety factor requirements in dam design or st..... | | Similar Terms |
