L-moments based assessment of a mixture model for frequency analysis of rainfall extremes

چکیده

In the framework of the regional analysis of hydrological extreme events, a probabilistic mixture model, given by a convex combination of two Gumbel distributions, is proposed for rainfall extremes modelling. The papers concerns with statistical methodology for parameter estimation. With this aim, theoretical expressions of the L-moments of the mixture model are here defined. The expressions have been tested on the time series of the annual maximum height of daily rainfall recorded in Tuscany (central Italy).

Assessment of Goodness of Fit Methods in Determining the Best Regional Probability Distribution of Rainfall Data

One of the most important problems in time series analysis of stream flow and rainfall data in an area is selecting the best probability distribution. Since the rainfall stations are associated and correlated with each other, so statistical analysis of the station data seamlessly are very important. Therefore, the first step in data analysis, is selecting the prevailing probability distribution...
