Modelling accumulated rainfall at a given time scale has always been an important problem in hydrology for many applications. In many parts of the world rainfall is highly seasonal and parameter estimation of selected models is usually carried out by months or seasons at any particular location. A m
Readily grasped concepts such as lifetime risk of, and expected age at onset of, a disease, cannot be easily estimated by the relative risk methods commonly used in epidemiology. Here we develop a method for estimating these quantities with confidence intervals, where the likelihood is a multivariat
