L-moments

An automated threshold selection procedure for generalized Pareto distribution with application to rainfall dataset

In hydrological datasets, particularly rainfall, the study of extreme values is crucial.  The appropriate analysis of such datasets can provide vital information about the return levels of extreme rainfall, which can play a significant role in disaster prevention.  In many situations, the GPD has been a well-respected option for studying extreme data; nonetheless, there are still concerns about the GPD's threshold selection method.  The commonly used Mean Residual Life (MRL) plot technique for threshold selection in Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) analysis suffers

Flood frequency analysis of daily water levels using the L-moment and TL-moment approaches at river stations in Pahang

The application of flood frequency analysis is essential for understanding and managing the risks associated with extreme water level events.  This study examines the Pahang River basin, specifically focusing on water levels at Sungai Pahang (Temerloh) and Sungai Lipis (Benta).
