| Zusammenfassung |
| A new approach is developed for the specification of
the plotting positions used in the frequency analysis of extreme flows,
rainfalls or similar data. The approach is based on the concept of maximum
likelihood estimation and it is applied here to provide plotting positions
for a range of problems which concern non-standard versions of annual-maximum
data. This range covers the inclusion of incomplete years of data and also
the treatment of cases involving regional maxima, where the number of sites
considered varies from year to year. These problems, together with a not-to-be-recommended
approach to using historical information, can be treated as special cases
of a non-standard situation in which observations arise from different
statistical distributions which vary in a simple, known, way. |
