“…(Note that herein we deal with a single sample and thus with a single estimate for z which precludes employment of equations (2) and (10)). Returning now to equation (8) we observe that the beta distribution of the first kind or Pearson I distribution (Alexander et al, 1969) is defined by:…”

“…Despite extensive research the true form of the parent distribution of annual flood maxima remains unknown with the result that a variety of distributions is employed to model the discharge versus probability of non-exceedance relation, or its equivalent. Selection of distribution type is either empirical as in, for example, the use of the Pearson system (Alexander et al, 1969) and the Wakeby distribution (Houghton, 1978) or is based on heuristic arguments. For instance, Chow (1954) adapted the central limit theorem, by suggesting that floods are the product of innumerable small factors each of unknown distribution, to provide some theoretical support for the lognormal distribution.…”
