@article{Kilgore2011EstimatingJF, title={Estimating Joint Flow Probabilities at Stream Confluences by Using Copulas}, author={Roger Trautman Kilgore and David B. Thompson}, journal={Transportation Research Record}, year={2011}, volume={2262}, pages={200 - 206} }
Highway drainage structures are often located near the confluence of two streams, where the structures may be subjected to inundation by high flows from either stream. These structures must be designed to meet specified performance objectives for floods. Although many tools estimate the probability of flooding on a single stream, there is little guidance for quantifying the probability of flooding on two streams simultaneously, which is a problem of estimating the joint probability of…

Analysis of the Parametric Correlation in Mathematical Modeling of In Vitro Glioblastoma Evolution Using Copulas
- Computer Science
- 2020
Copulas are demonstrated to be an adequate tool to analyze highly-correlated multiparametric mathematical models such as those appearing in Biology, with the added value of providing key information for the optimal design of experiments, reducing time and cost in in vivo and in vitro experimental campaigns, like those required in microfluidic models of GBM evolution.
Impact of non-stationarity on estimating and modeling empirical copulas of daily stock returns
- Computer Science
