“…The probability distribution models were selected from bibliographic review (Almeida et al, 2014;Silvino et al, 2007;Silva et al, 2015;Smakhtin, 2001;Lopes et al, 2016;Rossi and Thebaldi, 2017;Pereira and Caldeira, 2018) and preliminary tests. Thus, the theoretical probability distributions used for the Q7 data were: Erlang, Gumbel (Extreme Value), Gamma, Inverse Gaussian, Weibull, Normal Log, Pearson 5, Log Logistics, Rayleigh, Triangular.…”
