We use 28 Hubble parameter, H($$z$$), measurements at intermediate redshifts 0.07 $$\leqslant z \leqslant$$ 2.3 to determine the present-day Hubble constant H0 in four cosmological models. We measure H0 = 68:3$$^{+2.7}_{-2.6}$$, 68.4$$^{+2.9}_{-3.3}$$, 65.0$$^{+6.5}_{-6:6}$$ and 67.9$$^{+2.4}_{-2.4}$$ km s-1 Mpc-1 ( σ errors) in the ΛCDM (spatially flat and non-flat), ωCDM and ΦCDM models, respectively. These measured H0 values are more consistent with the lower values determined from recent cosmic microwave background and baryon acoustic oscillation data, as well as with that found from a median statistics analysis of Huchra’s compilation of H0 measurements, but include the higher local measurements of H0 within the 2σ confidence limits.
