Summary

Symmetric Archimedean copulas are widely applied for hydrologic analyses for the following reasons: (1) they can be easily constructed with the given generating function; (2) a large variety of copulas belong to this class (Nelsen, 2006); and (3) the Archimedean copulas have nice properties, such as simple and elegant mathematical treatment. This chapter focuses on the symmetric Archimedean copulas.
