Multivariate Frequency Analysis of Hydro-Meteorological Variables

Multivariate Frequency Analysis of Hydro-Meteorological Variables: A Copula-Based Approach provides comprehensive and detailed descriptions of the approaches and techniques used in multivariate frequency analysis (including, but not limited to copula functions), with illustrative examples and real-life case studies provided. The book presents all background material and new developments in one place, presenting the material in a homogeneous and pedagogical way in order to allow students, engineers and researchers to access and efficiently use all information surrounding this topic. This reference can be used as a guide to apply the available and recent approaches to evaluate hydro-meteorological risks, to design hydraulic structures, in teaching (faculty members), and as a literature review to go to the next steps in research projects (graduate students and postdocs). - Presents methods for analysis of hydro-meteorological risks followed by illustrative examples based on real life data sets- Provides definitions throughout on all new topics and key terms- Includes case studies and real-life examples covering a variety of situations and showing how this work can be applied in the reader's own work
