• Characterisation of Drought Properties with Bivariate Copula Analysis (2013, background): “…based on various drought indices in identifying and monitoring the drought episode, it was reported that SPI has the universal applicability (Angelidis et al. 2012) and diversified application in describing and comparing the drought episodes during different time periods and regions with…”
• A generalized framework for deriving nonparametric standardized drought indicators (2015, background): “On the other hand, SPI has a potential limitation as it assumes that there exists a suitable parametric probability distribution function representative for modeling precipitation data [10].”
