Table 2.  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).]
