AN EVALUATION OF LEAST SQUARE MODELS FOR TIDAL HARMONIC ANALYSIS AND PREDICTION IN APAPA DOCKYARD, LAGOS, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT The harmonic method of tidal analysis has been considered as more accurate than the non-harmonic methods. This is because the precise knowledge of the astronomic tidal constituents of a river channel enhances a comprehensive analysis of the tidal behavior in relation to the astronomic constituents which are the predominant factors responsible for tidal patterns and variation. Over the years, the Ordinary Least Squares technique (OLS) has been used for ...
