Preface
In the areas of hydrology and hydroclimatology, usage of different statistical methods is inevitable due to inherent uncertainty. Hydrology and climatology are two areas of science that involve studies related to hydrologic and climatic systems/subsystems, respectively. In connection with the climate change and its impacts on water resource engineering, hydrologic and hydroclimatic problems are now being addressed hand in hand. Random variability of hydrologic variables has a long history since its recognition, and several statistical techniques are currently in use. Further, the correspondence between climatic variability and hydrologic variability has produced a relatively new interdisciplinary field, known as hydroclimatology. It provides a platform to analyze the relatio
