Toward practical approaches for ergodicity analysis

It is of importance to perform hydrological forecast using a finite hydrological time series. Most time series analysis approaches presume a data series to be ergodic without justifying this assumption. To our knowledge, there are no methods available for test of ergodicity to date. This paper presents a practical approach to analyze the mean ergodic property of hydrological processes by means of augmented Dickey Fuller test, Mann-Kendall trend...
