distribution and parameter estimation methods
The Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution (Jenkinson, 1955) is adopted to model the
flood frequency distribution at each site, from the AMF series:
Qi(D;T ) =
ei +
ai
ki
(1 [ ln(1 1=T )]ki) if ki 6= 0
ei ailn( ln(1 1=T )) if ki = 0
(6)
where ei is the location parameter,
ai is the scale parameter and ki is the shape parameter.
