TY - Generic T1 - A snow course weighting method T2 - 38th Annual Western Snow Conference Y1 - 1970 A1 - Coulson, C.H. KW - Electronic computer, Statistical analysis, Water supply forecasting AB - This paper describes the derivation and use of a method of combining interdependent variables into a single variable for use in multiple regression analyses. The method is statistical and not directly related to any physical parameters. Use of this method to solve a given problem requires the use of a digital computer with a plotting arm auxiliary. The combination of water equivalents at different snow courses is emphasized but the method could be extended to other independent variables. An example of weighting snow courses for a Columbia River forecast procedure is illustrated.
