The Impact of Climate Change on Hurricane
... In order to model hurricanes, it is critical to recognize that they are rare events. An important component of expected hurricane damages is the frequency or probability (π) the hurricane will occur in each place. In this case, we are interested in the probability that a hurricane with particular ch ...
