Seasonal climate forecasts are one of the most promising tools for providing early warnings for natural hazards such as floods and droughts. Using two case studies, this paper documents the skill of a regional climate model in the seasonal forecasting of below normal rainfall in southern China...

This article devotes to studying the variance change-points problem in student t linear regression models. By exploiting the equivalence of the student t distribution and an appropriate scale mixture of normal distributions, a Bayesian approach combined with Gibbs sampling is developed to detect...
