SHORT COURSE "Copula Function: Theory and Practice" - 2^nd Edition

Viterbo, Italy
July, 18-22, 2011

Univariate frequency analysis is a widely used tool to study hydrological phenomena and perform quantitative analyses about the risk assessment. With the advent of powerful statistical packages (such as S-plus and R) and the development of copula theory, a multivariate analysis is increasingly feasible in hydrological studies. This one-week short course will focus on the statistical theory and applications of multivariate frequency analysis from the point of view of copulas approach. The course will provide the theoretical and applied knowledge for conducting hydrological simulations using copula methods with a particular emphasis on extreme events across climate regimes.
