Probabilistic linkages of propagation from meteorological to agricultural drought in the North African semi-arid region by Younes Dahhane, Victor Ongoma, Abdessamad Hadri, Mohamed Hakim Kharrou, Oualid Hakam, Abdelghani Chehbouni

“…Statistical measures such as Spearman correlation (R), root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute error (MAE), are utilized to assess the performance of the meteorological drought index to detect the agricultural drought. The propagation time from meteorological drought to agricultural drought was identified, and probabilistic linkages between the two types of droughts were investigated using the copula function and Bayesian network. …”
