Synthetic Unit Hydrograph Methods: A Critical Review
The present study critically reviews the synthetic unit hydrograph (SUH) methods available in hydrologic literature. The study reveals that the traditional methods of SUH derivation, e.g., Snyder, SCS, traditional methods like Snyder and TS method that does not yield satisfactory results, and their application to the practical engineering problems is tedious and combursome. On the other hand, p...
متن کاملExponentiated Exponential Family: An Alternative to Gamma and Weibull Distributions
In this article we study some properties of a new family of distributions, namely Exponentiated Exponential distribution, discussed in Gupta, Gupta, and Gupta (1998). The Exponentiated Exponential family has two parameters (scale and shape) similar to a Weibull or a gamma family. It is observed that many properties of this new family are quite similar to those of a Weibull or a gamma family, th...
متن کاملDiscriminating between Weibull and generalized exponential distributions
Recently the two-parameter generalized exponential (GE) distribution was introduced by the authors. It is observed that a GE distribution can be considered for situations where a skewed distribution for a non-negative random variable is needed. The ratio of the maximized likelihoods (RML) is used in discriminating between Weibull and GE distributions. Asymptotic distributions of the logarithm o...
متن کاملComparison dose distributions from gamma knife unit 4C with CT data and non-CT data options of beamnrc code
Todays gamma knife radiosurgery is used widely for treatment of very small brain tumors. In order to investigate accuracy of dosimetry and treatment planning calculations, using Monte Carlo simulation with dedicated code named as beamnrc including non-CT data and CT data options is necessary. The aim of this study is choosing the best options in order to have an accurate tools based on their ad...
متن کاملPitfalls in Using Weibull Tailed Distributions
By assuming that the underlying distribution belongs to the domain of attraction of an extreme value distribution, one can extrapolate the data to a far tail region so that a rare event can be predicted. However, when the distribution is in the domain of attraction of a Gumbel distribution, the extrapolation is quite limited generally in comparison with a heavy tailed distribution. In view of t...
