Preface Frequency evaluation of floods is a really lively space of investigation in Statistical Hydrology. Varied distributions, strategies of estimation of parameters, issues associated to regionalization, and different associated matters are being investigated. A lot of this materials is in journals and reviews, and normally in a kind which isn’t simply accessible to college students and practitioners. Consequently, the hole between analysis and apply is rising on this area.

The primary goal of this e-book is to current many of those distributions and estimation procedures in a unified style in order that they’d be obtainable to college students and practitioners. An try is made to make the e-book self-contained. The main points behind the procedures are given in full in order that the reader can see the premise for the computations. For every of the distributions thought-about—three-parameter estimation strategies, the strategy of moments, the utmost probability methodology, and the strategy of probability-weighted moments—are mentioned. The place they’re obtainable, the usual errors of estimates are additionally mentioned.

Every process is illustrated with actual knowledge. Many of the computations mentioned within the e-book have been reprogrammed to be used with private computer systems. Executable variations of those packages can be found on a CD-ROM from the senior writer. The primary distribution households mentioned within the e-book have been chosen due to their recognition throughout the hydrogic group. There are a lot of different distributions which have been proposed. Typically these are mentioned in a number of papers and are both not used or studied additional. Equally, parameter estimation strategies exterior the higher identified ones are additionally not mentioned. We’d be glad to listen to from the readers concerning the materials mentioned within the e-book and associated issues. After about 5 a long time of labor, the sector remains to be evolving. Solely by elevated use of those distributions and strategies can a consensus be reached about them. We hope the fabric on this e-book contributes to that objective.
