The risk of rainstorm disaster is expected to increase with rising disaster losses as a consequence. Besides the uncertainty of frequency and severity of rainfalls, it can also be attributed to the expansion of settlement and industrial areas and the resulting accumulation of population and assets. Therefore, it’s important to both analyze historical precipitation and estimate land use conditio...

− This paper is dedicated to the estimation of extreme quantiles and the tail index from heavy-tailed distributions when a covariate is recorded simultaneously with the quantity of interest. A nearest neighbor approach is used to construct our estimators. Their asymptotic normality is established under mild regularity conditions and their finite sample properties are illustrated on a simulation...

Traffic congestion is one of serious problems in cities; rainfalls would exacerbate traffic congestion, and thus result huge economic losses. However, limited studies focused on how influenced its associated Based detailed hourly data, we estimated index (TCI) changed with different rainfall intensities the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region, also explored their The results illustrated that all...
