Bayesian analysis for the poly-Weibull distribution

JO Berger, D Sun - Journal of the American Statistical Association, 1993 - Taylor & Francis
In this article Bayesian analysis for a Poly-Weibull distribution using informative priors is
discussed. This distribution typically arises when the data is the minimum of several Weibull …

Implications of heterogeneous flood‐frequency distributions on traditional stream‐discharge prediction techniques

Y Alila, A Mtiraoui - Hydrological Processes, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Traditional flood‐frequency analysis involves the assumption of homogeneity of the flood
distribution. However, floods are often generated by heterogeneous distributions composed …

Quantifying effects of catchments storage thresholds on step changes in the flood frequency curve

M Rogger, A Viglione, J Derx… - Water Resources …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Previous work has shown that non linear catchment response related to a storage threshold
may translate into a step change in the flood frequency curve. The aim of this paper is to …

Safety of Italian dams in the face of flood hazard

D Bocchiola, R Rosso - Advances in water resources, 2014 - Elsevier
Most rivers in Italy are segmented by dams that need rehabilitation because of (1) safety
requirements by increasingly risk-averse societies,(2) changes in the downstream river and …

[PDF][PDF] Regionalization of an event based Nash cascade model for flood predictions in ungauged basins

SR Patil - 2008 - d-nb.info
Rivers are as vital for human settlements as they are for the ecosystem. Civilizations have
flourished on the banks of the ancient rivers of the World. Ironically, these rivers have also …

Use of a derived distribution approach for flood prediction in poorly gauged basins: A case study in Italy

D Bocchiola, R Rosso - Advances in Water Resources, 2009 - Elsevier
A derived distribution approach is developed for flood prediction in poorly gauged basins.
This couples information on the expected storm scaling, condensed into Depth Duration …

Modelling multidecadal variability in flood frequency using the Two-Component Extreme Value distribution

The two-component extreme value distribution for flood frequency analysis: Derivation of a new estimation method

M Fiorentino, K Arora, VP Singh - Stochastic Hydrology and Hydraulics, 1987 - Springer
The two component extreme value (TCEV) distribution has recently been shown to account
for most of the characteristics of the real flood experience. A new method of parameter …
