Features: This book is a comprehensive integration of various research methods for solving hydrological problems using mathematical principles. Starting from the basic statistical characteristics of hydrological processes and based on the mathematical principles of probability and statistics, it unifies numerous mathematical methods widely applied in hydrological analysis and prediction in recent years, such as grey theory, fuzzy mathematics, neural networks, wavelet transforms, fractal theory, and chaos theory, into the framework of "Statistical Hydrology." In terms of structure, it is arranged primarily in the order of the development of hydrological statistical theory, reflecting the gradual deepening of people's understanding and grasp of hydrological processes. After introducing the fundamental mathematical principles, the book extensively presents classic application examples frequently encountered in current research activities. This book is suitable for researchers and professionals in hydrology, meteorology, seismology, agriculture, economics, and other disciplines involving time series prediction, who have a bachelor's degree in mathematics. It can also serve as a textbook for graduate students in the aforementioned fields.
