RISClosure to “Importance of Tail Dependence in Bivariate Frequency Analysis” by Annie Poulin, David Huard, Anne-Catherine Favre, and Stéphane Pugin
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Importance of Tail Dependence in Bivariate Frequency Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper highlights the importance of taking into account the tail dependence in the context of bivariate frequency analysis based on copulas. Three nonparametric estimators of the tail-dependence coefficient are compared ...
Comparison of Stochastic Optimization Algorithms in Hydrological Model Calibration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ten stochastic optimization methods—adaptive simulated annealing (ASA), covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMAES), cuckoo search (CS), dynamically dimensioned search (DDS), differential evolution (DE), genetic ...
Planning Unidirectional Flushing Operations as a Response to Drinking Water Distribution System Contamination
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper addresses the issue of contaminated water evacuation as part of the response process in cases of intentional or accidental contamination of drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs). Following a previous study ...
Heuristic Approach for Operational Response to Drinking Water Contamination
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper introduces a simple topological approach to systematize the isolation of contaminated areas within the pressure zones of drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs). Assuming optimal location of contaminant ...
