The goal of quantile regression is to estimate conditional quantiles for specified values of
quantile probability using linear or nonlinear regression equations. These estimates are …

Despite its potential advantages, canonical correlation analysis (CCA) has been little used
in the fields of hydrology and water resources. In a regional flood frequency analysis …

Intensity–duration–frequency curves are used extensively in engineering to assess the
return periods of rainfall events. The estimation and use of IDF curves rely on the hypothesis …

This paper provides an overview of the key processes that generate floods in Canada, and a
context for the other papers in this special issue–papers that provide detailed examinations …

Measurement, analysis and modeling of extreme precipitation events linked to floods is vital
in understanding changing climate impacts and variability. This book provides methods for …

The occurrence of rainfalls of high magnitude constitutes a primary natural hazard in many
parts of the world, and the elaboration of maps showing the hazard of extreme rainfalls has …

This study aims at deriving intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves from bivariate rainfall
frequency analysis using the copula method, which does not assume the rainfall variables to …

This paper analyses a 50 year time series of daily precipitation in a region of the middle
Ebro valley (northeastern Spain) in order to predict extreme dry-spell risk. A comparison of …

Because of their multivariate nature, several hydrological phenomena can be described by
more than one correlated characteristic. These characteristics are generally not independent …
