Analyzing rainfall patterns and pricing rainfall insurance using copula [PDF]
Journal of the Korean Data and Information Science Society, 2013 This paper proposes analyzing monthly rainfall patterns using copula and pricing related rainfall insurance using it. We analyze 30-year monthly precipitation data for 9 Korean cities between June and September using copula showing so that it can effectively generate realistic monthly rainfall patterns.
