Generating Synthetic Rainfall Total Using Multivariate Skew-t and Checkerboard Copula of Maximum Entropy

This study aims to test the appropriateness of multivariate skew-t copula and checkerboard copula of maximum entropy in generating monthly rainfall total data. The generation of synthetic data is important, as it provides hypothetical data in areas for which data availability remains limited. Three selected meteorological stations in Kelantan, Malaysia, Stesen Pertanian Melor, Rumah Pam Salor, and Ladang Lepan Kabu, are considered in this study....
