Weibull distributions play an important role in reliability studies and have many applications in engineering. It normally appears in the statistical scripts as having two parameters, making it easy to estimate its parameters. However, once you go beyond the two parameter distribution, things...

Sizing of ground-coupled loop heat exchangers (GLHE) depends on the ground thermal conductivity and capacity, and the borehole thermal resistance. One popular method to estimate the thermal parameters is the interpretation of in situ thermal response tests. The modeled response is...

The purpose of this paper is to present some numerical tools which facilitate the interpretation of simulation or data fitting results and which allow computation of optimal experimental designs. They help to validate mathematical models describing the dynamical behavior of a biological,...

Unit hydrograph method is usually used to resolve surface runoff concentration process. Empirical unit hydrograph is sometimes jagged and not smooth because of estimation errors. Owing to the randomicity of correction method, there is some localization in its application. The application of...
