Statistical Analysis of Time Series Data (STATS). Users Manual (Preliminary)

Abstract

The computer program STATS is designed to reduce large volumes of daily or monthly data a few meaningful statistics or curves. The program will perform the following analyses: (1) duration curves, (2) annual maximum events, (3) annual minimum events, (4) departures of monthly and annual values from respective means, and (5) annual volume-duration of high and low events. The daily or monthly data to be used as input to this program can follow in the data file or the data can be accessed through HEC's Data Storage System (DSS). This latter capability provides for the analysis of output from other HEC programs like HEC5. The frequency analysis may be analytical for data that tends to follow a theoretical distribution, e.g. annual maximum daily flows; or graphical for those data that do not tend to follow any known distribution, e.g. regulated flows. The input data may be transformed to logarithms for the statistical analyses, if so desired. Keywords: Computer program documentation.
