Comparative Analysis of Transfer Function Method with Advanced Flood Prediction Techniques by Jafar Chabokpour

“…The sensitivity analysis returned variable model responses to the quality of the input data; an input variation of 20% reduced the NSE of the Saint-Venant model to 0.73 and that of the Transfer Function to 0.44. This study provides quantitative insight into the choice of flood prediction methods in a semi-arid region, with respect to required accuracy, computational resources, and forecast lead-time.…”
