Comparison of the performance of the extreme value type 1 (EV1) and the rayleigh distribution
The suitability of the Extreme Value Type I (EV1) and the Rayleigh distributions for flood frequency analysis is discussed. The distributions were applied to the annual maximum flood series generated by first-order autoregressive (AR(1)) process of length 90 for 1000 years. Here two methods of param...
