The three main methods of data modelling, hierarchical, network, and relational are described together with their advantages and disadvantages. The hierarchical model has strictly limited applicability, but the other two are of general use, although the network model in many respects defines a stora

## Abstract The __dataβbased mechanistic__ (DBM) approach to modelling has developed as a stochastic, βtopβdownβ response to the problems associated with the deterministic, βbottomβupβ approach. As such, it can be compared with the deterministic, topβdown modelling methods that have been attracting
## Abstract This paper addresses the application of a dataβbased mechanistic (DBM) modelling approach using transfer function models (TFMs) with nonβlinear rainfall filtering to predict runoff generation from a semiβarid catchment (795 km^2^) in Tanzania. With DBM modelling, time series of rainfall
