continuous updating such models. For flood forecasting to be effective, it must provide flood warnings with a reasonable lead time. Furthermore, for real time operation, the authorities may require to access the gauges of significant predictors (Corani and Guariso 2005), thus saving considerable costs, a critical issue in developing countries. Since a flood warning and forecast system does not primarily aim at providing explicit knowledge of rainfall–runoff processes, black-box models have been widely used
engineering, mechanical engineering and structural engineering for active control, model validation and updating, conditional assessment, health monitoring and damage detection. System identification techniques can utilize both input and output data or can only include the output data. [1] The construction of system identification involves three basic entities that are a set of data, a model structure, and a rule by which the models can be assessed using the data. A set of data can sometimes gather during
One of the most popular strategies imposed for habitual offenders came in the 1990s, known as three strikes laws. These laws stipulate that if an offender commits a third strike felony, they will be locked up for an extended amount of time, even including life in prison without parole.
