| Title | Use of Extreme Value Theory in Estimating Flood Peaks from Mixed Populations |
| Creator | Canfield, Ronand V. Olsen, D. R. Hawkins, R. H. Chen, T. L. |
| Description | The flood magnitude for a given frequency or return period is estimated by fitting a probability distribution to the historical annual flood series. The log-Pearson type III distribution has been selected by the Water Resources Council for general use by the federal government, but practitioners should examine an annual flood series and use alternative distributions where they will produce better estimates.... |
