Abstract Accurate and reliable assessment of wind energy potential has important implication to the wind energy industry. Most previous studies on wind energy assessment focused solely on wind speed, whereas the dependence of wind energy on wind direction was much less considered and documented.

Abstract We develop a flexible two‐equation copula model to address endogeneity of medical expenditures in a distribution regression for health. The expenditure margin uses the compound gamma distribution, a special case of the Tweedie family of distributions, to account for a spike at zero and a highly skewed continuous part.

In this paper, the marginal distribution of concomitants of k−record values (CKR) based on the Huang–Kotz Farlie–Gumbel–Morgenstern (HK‐FGM) family of bivariate distributions is derived. In addition, we obtained the joint distribution of CKR for this family.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the valuation of equity‐linked death benefit contracts and the multiple life insurance on two heads based on a joint survival model. Using the exponential Wiener process assumption for the stock price process and a Kn distribution for the time until death, we provide explicit formulas for the expectation of ...

A Copula-based Maintenance Modeling for Parallel Systems with Non-self Announcing Failures and Dependent Components [PDF]
Based on a copula function this paper addresses a maintenance scheduling problem for parallel systems whose components are dependent and their failures are detected only by inspections. To carry out preventive maintenance actions, the decision process is

Bivariate Kumaraswamy Models via Modified FGM Copulas: Properties and Applications [PDF]
A copula is a useful tool for constructing bivariate and/or multivariate distributions. In this article, we consider a new modified class of FGM (Farlie–Gumbel–Morgenstern) bivariate copula for constructing several different bivariate Kumaraswamy type copulas and discuss their structural properties, including dependence structures.

Valuation of Equity-Linked Death Benefits on Two Lives with Dependence
The purpose of this paper is to investigate equity-linked death benefits for joint alive and last survivor individuals. Utilizing Farlie–Gumbel–Morgenstern (FGM) type dependency modeling framework, we first analyze the joint distribution of the couple ...

A Bayesian non‐linear state space copula model for air pollution in Beijing
Abstract Air pollution is a serious issue that currently affects many industrial cities in the world and can cause severe illness to the population. In particular, it has been proven that extreme high levels of airborne contaminants have dangerous short‐term effects on human health, in terms of increased hospital admissions for cardiovascular and ...

Selecting the primary endpoint in a randomized clinical trial: the ARE method [PDF]
The decision on the primary endpoint in a randomized clinical trial is of paramount importance and the combination of several endpoints might be a reasonable choice. Gómez and Lagakos (2013) have developed a method that quantifies how much more efficient
