Discussion of 'Neuro-fuzzy models employing wavelet analysis for suspended sediment concentration prediction in rivers'

摘要

In this discussion we focus on the recent paper by Mirbagheri et al. (2010), which reported the conjunctive use of wavelet analysis and neuro-fuzzy models for predicting suspended sediment concentration (SSC). Testing was applied to a small tropical catchment (47.4 km~2) situated on the western side of the island of Puerto Rico (Rio Rosario, near Hormigueros, Station ID 50136400). Figure 1 contrasts the location of the investigated site against that of two other study sites on this island that have been the subject of several recent data-driven modelling investigations (Rio Valenciano, near Juncos, Station ID 50056400; Quebrada Blanca at Jagual, Station ID 50051150).
