While there is substantial need for dependence models in higher dimensions, most existing models quickly become rather restrictive and barely balance parsimony and flexibility. Hierarchical constructions may improve on that by grouping variables in different levels. In this paper, the new class of hierarchical Kendall copulas is proposed and discussed. Hierarchical Kendall copulas are built up ...

Abstract Despite the increased frequency of extreme climate events including their significance in Nepal's socio-economy, studies have seldom considered extremes, and even fewer them combination with temperature precipitation. This study aimed at examining trend variables Gandaki Province, Nepal. Daily precipitation data five stations between 1990 2020 were analyzed. Modified Mann–Kendall Sen's...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to examine the effects of horse-riding simulator exercise and Kendall exercise on forward head posture. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty elderly college students with a forward head posture were randomly divided into two groups for 15 persons each, a horse-riding simulator group and Kendall exercise group, and performed exercise for eight weeks. [Results] The ho...

The social, economic, and ecological importance of the aquifer system within Bacchiglione basin (Veneto, IT) is noteworthy, there considerable disagreement among previous studies over its sustainable use. Investigating long-term quantitative sustainability groundwater system, this study presents a statistical methodology that can be applied to similar cases. Using combination robust widely used...

This paper outlines a new approach to determining the effect of part complexity on the cost of manufacturing a composite part. It also describes a methodology for predicting cost based on complexity that uses the techniques of Method Time Measurement (MTM). The proposed methodology offers a relatively simple method to predict the fabrication time of a complex component. It is based on the theor...

E Kendal l was b o r n o n 8 t h M a r c h 1886 in South Norwalk, Connecticut, USA. Kendall obtained the degrees of Bachelor of Science in 1908, Master of Science in 1909, and Ph. D. in Chemistry in 1910. From 1910-1911 he worked as a research chemist with Parke Davis where his main task was to isolate thyroid hormones.1 He continued to work on thyroid harmones till 1914 while working at St. Lu...
