L-moments based regional flood frequency analysis has been carried out on the seven sites of Punjab, Pakistan. Discordancy measure in terms of L-moments has been used to screen the data on each of the seven sites. Homogeneity of the region has been tested using the L-moments based heterogeneity...

Extreme Value Theory (EVT) methods are used to investigate the asymptotic distribution of the lower tail for daily returns in the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) over the period 1986 to 2001. Overall, the Generalised Logistic (GL) distribution is found to provide adequate descriptions of the...

With the objective of investigating the hydrological homogeneity of India's hydrometeorological subzone 3-a and identification of a suitable frequency distribution for it, a regional flood frequency analysis has been carried out using the index flood procedure and the L-moments. Based on...

Extreme Value Theory methods are used to investigate the distribution of the extreme minima in the German stock market over the period 1973 to 2001. Innovative aspects of this paper include (i) a wide set of distributions considered, (ii) L-moment diagrams employed to identify the most...

Extreme Value Theory (EVT) methods are used to investigate the asymptotic distribution of the lower tail for daily returns in the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) over the period 1986 to 2001. Overall, the Generalised Logistic (GL) distribution is found to provide adequate descriptions of the...

The aim of this study is to investigate and determine hydrologically homogeneous regions and to derive regional flood frequency estimates for 47 gauged sites in the West Mediterranean River Basins in Turkey, using an index flood method with L-moments parameter estimation. Screening of the data...

This article presents the approach and the results of a study in which 30, 100 and 200 year return period flood discharges were estimated for 26,000 km of Austrian streams. Three guiding principles were adopted: combination of automatic methods and manual assessments by hydrologists to allow...

Floods are a common feature in rapidly urbanizing Dhaka and its adjoining areas. Though Greater Dhaka experiences flood almost in every year, flood management policies are mostly based on structural options including flood walls, dykes, embankments etc. Many shortcomings of the existing flood...
