A warming climate is associated with increasing hydroclimatic extremes, which are often
interconnected through complex processes, prompting their concurrence and/or succession …

This book is written for graduate students and researchers, who are interested in using
copula-based models for multivariate data structures. It provides a step-by-step introduction …

The official history of copulas begins in 1959 with Sklar [1959]; but, as is often the case in
Mathematics, for groundbreaking results there are forerunners and precedents. These latter …

In this paper we assess the extent to which power outages affect the sales of firms across

Can mitigating only particle mass, as the existing air quality measures do, ultimately lead to
reduction in ultrafine particles (UFP)? The aim of this study was to provide a broader urban …

Scholarly debate about student evaluations of teaching (SETs) often focuses on whether
SETs are valid, reliable and unbiased. In this article, we assume the most optimistic …

Splines are important tools for the flexible modeling of curves and surfaces in regression
analyses. Functions for constructing spline basis functions are available in R through the …

This paper provides an investigation into the dependence structure among different
disruptive technology sectors driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution and scrutinizes the …

As an alternative to the commonly used univariate flood frequency analysis, copula
frequency analysis can be used. In this study, 58 flood events at the Litija gauging station on …

Probability distributions are the building blocks of statistical modeling and inference. It is
therefore of the utmost importance to know which distribution to use in what circumstances …
