dc.description.abstract | This article examines the trend of flow during the high water period (from July till November)
in the basin of Gambia measured at the Mako station of over 2004-2013 period. Methodology
consisted at first in calculation and in standardization of data by the method of z-score of
some statistical parameters (average, maximum, minimum, range and standard deviation).
Obtained series were afterward submitted to classifications techniques such as k-means
clustering and Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering (AHC) of Time Series Data Mining to
cluster and discover the discharge patterns in terms of the autoregressive model.. From these
methods, a forecast model has been developed for the discharge process on average over these
years. This study presents basin flow dynamics in high water period from Time Series Data
Mining technique.
