Enhancing water use efficiency: Insights from hydrological variability encounter of multiple water sources and implications for terminal Lake management in arid regions by Kun Liu, Yunfei Chen, Bin Wu, Hailiang Xu, Abdul Waheed, Fan Gao, Bing He, Long Zhou, Jie Wu, Qin Zhang, Jinhao Ju

“…Multivariate empirical mode decomposition (MEMD) was applied to identify periodic characteristics of runoff, while wavelet coherence transform assessed the consistency of runoff patterns. A Copula function was then utilized to construct a joint distribution model, quantifying variability patterns and their cascading effects on ecological water use in Taitema Lake. …”

Modeling the Public Transport Networks: A Study of Their Efficiency by Mary Luz Mouronte-López

“…We have found that this process may be appropriately explained by a generalized linear model (GLM) using local, global, and quasilocal similarity indexes as explanatory variables. In modeling, the response variable was described by a binomial probability density function, and the logit function was used as a link function. …”
