Performance and robustness of probabilistic river forecasts computed with quantile regression based on multiple independent variables

This study applies quantile regression (QR) to predict exceedance probabilities of various water levels, including flood stages, with combinations of deterministic forecasts, past forecast errors and rates of water level rise as independent variables. A computationally cheap technique to estimate f...
