Question 2.
What does stationarity mean?
Show hintHide hint
Consider whether data patterns change over time.
3Question 3.
What is homogeneity concerned with in rainfall data?
- Statistical properties
- Climatic regime consistency

4Question 4.
True or False: Stationarity assumes that statistical properties of rainfall data remain unchanged over time.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about stability in data.
Question 5.
You are given rainfall data from three different stations over 30 years. Station A shows consistent rainfall trends, while Station B shows increasing trends, and Station C shows declining trends. How might you assess the homogeneity and stationarity of the dataset?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the impacts of fluctuating data on reliability.
Question 6.
Design a brief research proposal exploring the effectiveness of methods to correct non-stationarity in rainfall data. What methods would you include?
Show hintHide hint
Think about common statistical methods used in time series.
