Precipitation trend analysis for The Langat River Basin, Selangor, Malaysia by Palizdan, Narges

“…In the method using wavelet transformation, the mother wavelet type and the number of decomposition levels were assessed based on two criteria. The first one is the Mean Relative Error (MRE) between the wavelet approximation component and the original data set and the second one is the relative error of the MK Z-value ( ) between the approximation series and the original data series. …”
