• abstract = "In the recent years, artificial intelligence techniques have attracted much attention in hydrological studies, while time series models are rarely used in this field. The present study evaluates the performance of artificial intelligence techniques including gene expression programming (GEP), Bayesian networks (BN), as well as time series models, namely autoregressive (AR) and autoregressive moving average (ARMA) for estimation of monthly streamflow. In addition, simple multiple linear regression (MLR) was also used. To fulfill this objective, the monthly streamflow data of Ponel and Toolelat stations located on Shafarood and Polrood Rivers, respectively in Northern Iran were used for the period of October 1964 to September 2014. In order to investigate the models accuracy, root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and coefficient of determination (R2) were employed as the error statistics. The obtained results demonstrated that the single AR and ARMA time series models had better performance in comparison with the single GEP, BN and MLR methods. Furthermore, in this study, six hybrid models known as GEP-AR, GEP-ARMA, BN-AR, BN-ARMA, MLR-AR and MLR-ARMA were developed to enhance the estimation accuracy of the monthly streamflow. It was concluded that the developed hybrid models were more accurate than the corresponding single artificial intelligence and time series models. The obtained results confirmed that the integration of time series models and artificial intelligence techniques could be of use to improve the accuracy of single models in modeling purposes related to the hydrological studies.",
