A non-parametric method for paleohydrologic reconstruction (NPP) of streamflows using tree-ring chronologies is developed. The method uses pattern matching of chronologies in EOF-space (Empirical ...

In the post-parametric era, one key challenge for architectural design is the acquisition, processing, and integration of data. Designers already have an enormous amount of computable data from ...
