In addition, it extends the traditional bivariate model to trivariate or multivariate models. The specific applications covered include the study of flood frequency analysis, drought frequency analysis, dependence analysis, flood coincidence risk analysis and statistical simulation using copulas. The book offers a valuable guide for researchers, scientists and engineers working in hydrology and water resources, and will also benefit graduate or doctoral students with a basic grasp of copula functions who want to learn about the latest research developments in the field.Springer Water,2364-6934Hydraulic engineeringStatisticsGeoengineering, Foundations, Hydraulicshttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T23020Hydrology/Water Resourceshttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/211000Statistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Scienceshttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/S17020Hydraulic engineering.Statistics.Geoengineering, Foundations, Hydraulics.Hydrology/Water Resources.Statistics for Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences.519.535Chen Luauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut696186Guo Shenglianauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910350348303321Copulas and Its Application in Hydrology and Water Resources2165782UNINA04137nam 22007575 450 991040999800332120250609110028.09783030443603(electronic bk.)303044360410.1007/978-3-030-44360-3(CKB)4100000011231637(MiAaPQ)EBC6191398(DE-He213)978-3-030-44360-3(Perlego)3481649(MiAaPQ)EBC6191349(EXLCZ)99410000001123163720200505d2020 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCapitalism and Freedom in African Political Philosophy /by Grivas Muchineripi Kayange1st ed. 2020.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2020.1 online resource (311 pages)9783030443597 3030443590 CHAPTER 1: General Introduction -- CHAPTER 2: Theoretical Conceptualization of Capitalism and Freedom -- CHAPTER 3: Capitalism and Freedom in African communitarianism -- CHAPTER 4: Capitalism and Freedom in the Colonial Period -- CHAPTER 5: Capitalism and Freedom in One Party Politics -- CHAPTER 6: Capitalist multiparty democracy reforms -- CHAPTER 7: Capitalist Economic Reforms in Africa -- CHAPTER 8: Economic Freedom Conflict -- CHAPTER 9: Sovereignty and Political Freedom Conflict between African Communitarianism and Capitalism -- CHAPTER 10: Moral Freedom Conflict -- CHAPTER 11: Primitive accumulation crisis in the modern African capitalism -- CHAPTER 12: Neo-African Renaissance as a Response to Neo-Capitalism -- CHAPTER 13: Afro-Chinese Alternative to Capitalism and Freedom Conflict -- CHAPTER 14: Embedding capitalism and freedom in a comprehensive theory of ubuntu -- CHAPTER 15: Conclusion.This book investigates 'capitalism and freedom'-the guiding forces of many political systems-in African philosophy. It builds on classical and neoliberal capitalism rooted in private property and freedom, and argues for the presence of these elements in the traditional and modern African political systems. The author argues that while these elements are partly imported from Western capitalists, they are equally traceable in African traditional political systems. Kayange argues that African politics is marred by a conflict between embracing capitalism and freedom (individualism), on the one hand, and socialism founded on African communitarianism and communist ideas, on the other. This conflict has affected policy development and implementation, and has significantly contributed towards the socio-economic and ethical crises that are recurrent in most of the African countries.Philosophy, ModernPolitical sciencePhilosophyEthnologyAfricaCultureAfrica, Sub-SaharanHistoryAfricaPolitics and governmentAfrican literaturePhilosophical TraditionsPolitical PhilosophyAfrican CultureHistory of Sub-Saharan AfricaAfrican PoliticsAfrican LiteraturePhilosophy, Modern.Political sciencePhilosophy.EthnologyCulture.Africa, Sub-SaharanHistory.AfricaPolitics and government.African literature.Philosophical Traditions.Political Philosophy.African Culture.History of Sub-Saharan Africa.African Politics.African Literature.338.96100Kayange Grivas Muchineripiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut866397MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910409998003321Capitalism and Freedom in African Political Philosophy2057280UNINA
