Résumé:
Calculating return periods and critical layers (i.e. multivariate quantile curves) in a multivariate envi-
ronment is a difficult problem. A possible consistent theoretical framework for the calculation of the return
period, in a multi-dimensional environment, is essentially based on the notion of copula and level sets of the
multivariate probability distribution. In this paper we propose a fast and parametric methodology to esti-
mate the multivariate critical layers of a distribution and its associated return periods. The model is based
on transformations of the marginal distributions and transformations of the dependence structure within
the class of Archimedean copulas. The model has a tunable number of parameters, and we show that it is
possible to get a competitive estimation without any global optimum research. We also get parametric ex-
pressions for the critical layers and return periods. The methodology is illustrated on rainfall 5-dimensional
real data. On this real data-set we obtain a good quality of estimation and we compare the obtained results
with some classical parametric competitors. Finally we provide a simulation study.
