Generating fine-scale time series of intermittent rainfall that are fully consistent with any given coarse-scale totals is a key and open issue in many hydrological problems. We propose a stationary disaggregation method that simulates rainfall time series with given dependence structure, wet/dry probability, and marginal distribution at a target finer (lower-level) time scale, preserving full consistency with variables at a parent coarser (higher-level) time scale.

Introduction Erection and ejaculation are distinct phases of male sexual function. Having lost the penile bone, or baculum, during the evolution of human sexuality, the first task facing men was to gain the ability to control erection (Cellerino & Jannini, 2005). More recently, the timing of ejaculation has become one of the most important features of a couple's sexual health. In animals, sexual intercourse is usually a brief episode (Hong, 1984).
