Spatio-Temporal Data Mining and Analysis of Precipitation Extremes
Wu, Elizabeth · The Sydney eScholarship Repository (The University of Sydney) · 2008
The work in this thesis aimed to discover new ways to analyse and mine information about precipitation extremes in South America from spatio-temporal data. This was done in two ways. First, analysis was performed through the use of statistical measures that provided insight into the behaviour of precipitation extremes between regions. Second, a new spatio-temporal outlier detection algorithm was introduced to discover moving outliers from the data.
