RISRational Approach to Comparison of Flood Distributions by Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A nonparametric Bayesian simulation procedure, Pólya resampling, is presented for comparing statistical distributions
Halphen Distribution System. II: Parameter and Quantile Estimation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, the second in a series of two, procedures for the estimation of parameters and quantiles of the Halphen type A, B, and IB distributions are presented. Because the Halphen distributions are members of the ...
Halphen Distribution System. I: Mathematical and Statistical Properties
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the 1940s, Étienne Halphen, a French statistician and hydrologist, developed a set of distributions for frequency analysis of river flows. Halphen's research was fueled by an extensive practical experience with hydrological ...
Generalized Extreme Value versus Halphen System: Exploratory Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Halphen system and the generalized extreme-value (GEV) distributions are recommended for the estimation of the hydrological extreme events. The GEV system is widely used, whereas the Halphen distributions are less known ...
