An Entropy-Based Generalized Gamma Distribution for Flood Frequency Analysis
Flood frequency analysis (FFA) is needed for the design of water engineering and hydraulic structures. The choice of an appropriate frequency distribution is one of the most important issues in FFA. A key problem in FFA is that no single distribution has been accepted as a global standard. The common practice is to try some candidate distributions and select the one best fitting the data, based...
متن کاملGeneralized Exponential Distribution in Flood Frequency Analysis for Polish Rivers.
Many distributions have been used in flood frequency analysis (FFA) for fitting the flood extremes data. However, as shown in the paper, the scatter of Polish data plotted on the moment ratio diagram shows that there is still room for a new model. In the paper, we study the usefulness of the generalized exponential (GE) distribution in flood frequency analysis for Polish Rivers. We investigate ...
متن کاملGeneralized Beta Distribution of the Second Kind for Flood Frequency Analysis
Estimation of flood magnitude for a given recurrence interval T (T-year flood) at a specific location is needed for design of hydraulic and civil infrastructure facilities. A key step in the estimation or flood frequency analysis (FFA) is the selection of a suitable distribution. More than one distribution is often found to be adequate for FFA on a given watershed and choosing the best one is o...
متن کاملEstimating the flood frequency distribution
The goal of this study is to develop an objective methodology for estimating design floods, i.e. the flood peak discharge with return period T , at ungauged river catchments in Iceland. First, a regional flood frequency analysis is presented for estimating the T -year flood peak discharge with fixed duration D, Q(T,D), for poorly gauged and ungauged catchments. This is done by scaling a regiona...
متن کاملGeneralized Entropy Optimized by an Arbitrary Distribution
We construct the generalized entropy optimized by a given arbitrary statistical distribution with a finite linear expectation value of a basic random quantity of interest. This offers, via the maximum entropy principle, a unified basis for a great variety of distributions observed in nature, which can hardly be described by the conventional methods. As a simple example, we explicitly derive the...
