Abstract
In many applications of hydrology, quantiles provide important insights in the statistical problems considered. In this paper, we focus on the estimation of multivariate quantiles based on copulas. We provide a nonparametric estimation procedure for a notion of multivariate quantiles, which has been used in a series of papers. These quantiles are based on particular level sets of copulas and admit the usual probabilistic interpretation that a p ‐quantile comprises a probability mass p . We also explore the usefulness of a smoothed bootstrap in the estimation process. Our simulation results show that the nonparametric estimation procedure yields excellent results and that the smoothed bootstrap can be beneficially applied. The main purpose of our paper is to provide an easily applicable method for practitioners and applied researchers in domains such as hydrology and coastal engineering.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
