LSU Doctoral Dissertations
In hydrological frequency analysis, it is difficult to apply standard statistical methods to derive multivariate probability distributions of the characteristics of hydrologic or hydraulic variables except under the following restrictive assumptions: (1) variables are assumed independent, (2) variables are assumed to have the same marginal distributions, and (3) variables are assumed to follow or are transformed to normal distribution. Relaxing these assumptions when deriving multivariate distributions of the characteristics of correlated hydrologic and hydraulic variables. The copula methodology is applied to perform multivariate frequency analysis of rainfall, flood, low-flow, water quality, and channel flow, using data from the Amite river …
