Flood routing via a copula-based approach
Floods are among the most common natural disasters that if not controlled may cause severe damage and high costs. Flood control and management can be done using structural measures that should be designed based on the flood design studies. The simulation

Copula functions are widely used for modeling multivariate dependence. Since the multivariate data may not necessarily be linear and Gaussian, the copula model is very often brought into the picture for modeling such multivariate phenomena.

Smooth bootstrapping of copula functionals
The smooth bootstrap for estimating copula functionals in small samples is investigated. It can be used both to gauge the distribution of the estimator in question and to augment the data. Issues arising from kernel density and distribution estimation in the copula domain are addressed, such as how to avoid the bounded domain, which bandwidth matrix to

A Novel Nonparametric Estimation for Conditional Copula Functions Based on Bayes Theorem
Conditional copula which measures the conditional dependence among variables, possesses a special position in copula field. In this article, based on Bayes theorem, we derive three kinds of conditional copula functions as the product of the corresponding

Pairs Trading; A Comparison between Student-t and Vine Copulas [PDF]
Objective: The main purpose of the present research was to compare the performance of pairs trading based on the Vine Copula, Student's t Copula, and Distance approaches. This was done for the first time on the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE).

A Functional for Copulas and Quasi-Copulas [PDF]
We recall and study some properties of a known functional operating on the set of n-copulas and determine conditions under such functional is well defined on the set of n-quasi-copulas. As a consequence, new families of copulas and quasi-copulas are defined, illustrating our results with several examples.

Copula cosmology: Constructing a likelihood function [PDF]
To estimate cosmological parameters from a given dataset, we need to construct a likelihood function, which sometimes has a complicated functional form. We introduce the copula, a mathematical tool to construct an arbitrary multivariate distribution function from one-dimensional marginal distribution functions with any given dependence structure. It is

Copula Functions for Spatial Survival Data Analysis [PDF]
Many survival data analyses aim to assess the effect of different risk factors on survival time. In some studies, the survival times are correlated, and the dependence between survival times is related to their spatial locations.

Conditional independence and predictive copula
In this paper, we address the concept of conditional independence between two random variables X and Y given the entity Θ. We identify the impact of conditional independence on the analytic form of the predictive 2-copula between X and Y.

Evolution of coupled lives' dependency across generations and pricing impact [PDF]
This paper studies the dependence between coupled lives - both within and across generations - and its effects on prices of reversionary annuities in the presence of longevity risk.
