Intensity–Duration–Frequency Curves for Dependent Datasets
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curves of precipitation are a reference decision support tool used in hydrology. They allow the estimation of extreme precipitation and its return periods. Typically, IDF curves are estimated using univariate frequency analysis of the maximum annual intensities of precipitation for different durations. It is then assumed that the annual maxima of different durations are independent to simplify the parameter estimation. This strong hypothesis is not always verified for every climatic region. This study examines the effects of the independence hypothesis by proposing a multivariate model that considers the dependencies between precipitation intensities of different durations. The multivariate model uses D-vine copulas to explore the intraduration dependencies. The generalized extreme values distribution (GEV) is considered a marginal model that fits a wide range of tail behaviors. An illustration of the proposed approach is made for historical data from Moncton, in the province of New Brunswick (Eastern Canada), with climatic projections made through three scenarios of the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP).

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
