Regression coefficients and diagnostic statistics for discharge ratings
[equation: Q
= B1 + B2V + B3S, where Q is estimated
discharge in cubic meters per second; V is measured velocity in centimeters per
second; and S is stage in meters above (+) or below (-) the mean stage measured
during the hydrographic survey; p-value, attained significance level; R2,
coefficient of determination (variability in the measured discharges explained
by the equation); RMSE, root mean square error (square root of the mean of the
squares of the regression residuals) in cubic meters per second; n/a, not
applicable. Stage not in regression because identical discharges were recorded
for two different stages (loop rating).]
