Summary

In this chapter, we apply copulas to network evaluation and design. The network is considered to be comprised of rain gauges that are located in the southwest (seven gauges) and east central (three gauges) parts of Louisiana. To select proper rain gauges for network design, the kernel density is applied to model the marginal rainfall variables as that studied for rainfall analysis in Chapter 10. For the simplicity of illustrating the copula-based network design, meta-elliptical copulas (i.e., meta-Gaussian and meta-Student t) are applied to model the spatial dependence among rain gauges. The network design case study shows the appropriateness of the copula-based network design.
