Correlation between Rainfall and Runoff in Fuchun River Basin Based on Copula Functions and Kernel Density Estimation by YANG Sheng-mei, ZHU De-kang, CHENG Xiang, LI Bo, ZHU Yan-ze, MA Wen-sheng

“…The Gaussian was selected to estimate the marginal distributions of hydrological variables in the Fuchun River Basin, demonstrating higher simulation accuracy without relying on any distribution assumption.(2) By estimating the Kendall and Spearman rank correlation coefficients of the bivariate functions of Gaussian-Copula, t-Copula, Clayton-Copula, Frank-Copula, and Gumbel-Copula, and comparing them with the Kendall and Spearman rank correlation coefficients of the original observed data, it was found that Gaussian-Copula and Gumbel-Copula were closer to the observed data.(3) By calculating the Euclidean distance, the fitting performance of the Copula functions was evaluated. …”
