With Copula Method Modeling of daily maximum and minimum temperature changes in Bitlis province

This paper aims to examine the relationship between  daily maximum and minimum temperatures of  Bitlis in Turkey between 2012-2017 years with Copula method. To present the relationship between the variables, we use copula families such as; Gumbel, Clayton, Frank,  Joe, Gaussian and Survival Clayton copula.  To explain dependence structures of the data set and to determine parameters of  Gumbel, Clayton, Frank,  Joe, Gaussian and Survival Clayton copula families, we calculate Kendall Tau and Spearman Rho values which are nonparametric. With he help of  Kolmogorov Smirnov, Cramer Von Mises which are goodness of  fit test, Maximum likelihood method, Akaike information Criteria ad Bayes information criteria, we find the suitable copula family for this data set.  The results show that there is a strong dependence between daily maximum and minimum temperatures of Bitlis between 2012-2017 years.
