Review text

The estimators constructed in part I of this paper, see the preceding review, Zbl 0729.62109, are evaluated via cross-validation using hourly radar rainfall data and simulated hourly raingage data. Generation of raingage data is based on sample statistics of actual raingage measurements and radar rainfall data. The estimators are compared with lognormal co-kriging and nonparametric estimators. The Bayesian estimators are shown to provide some improvement over lognormal co- kriging under the criteria of mean error, root mean square error, and standardized mean square error.
