The testing dataset includes predictor variable for the 11 test events and HEC-HMS parameter adjustment factors. We will compare the adjustment factors from the machine learning model to those determine through manual calibration.

HEC-HMS Model Adjustment Factors and Results for the Test Events

The following tables contain the HEC-HMS adjustment factors from the test events, these were set through manual calibration. Just like the training events, the performance metrics showed good model prediction.
