متن کاملCorrelation models in flood risk analysis
Statistical dependence among random hydraulic variables generally stem from a common meteorological cause. Usually, this dependence increases the probability of occurrence of floods. Therefore, in many (potential) applications in flood risk analysis there is a need for techniques that properly describe the statistical dependence among random variables. This study makes an inventory of existing ...
