Journal ArticleDOI
Sampling variance of flood quantiles from the generalised logistic distribution estimated using the method of L-moments
Thomas Kjeldsen,David A. Jones +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the sampling uncertainty of quantile estimates obtained using the generalized logistic distribution for single site analysis using the median to estimate the location parameter and derived analytical expressions for the mean and variance of the quantile estimate based on asymptotic theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of regional index flood estimation procedures based on the extreme value type I distribution
Thomas Kjeldsen,Dan Rosbjerg +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of different methods for estimating T-year events is presented, all based on the Extreme Value Type I distribution, all of which are applied to the New Zealand South Island.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classifying low flow hydrological regimes at a regional scale
Mike Kirkby,Francesc Gallart,Thomas Kjeldsen,Brian Irvine,Jochen Froebrich,A. Lo Porto,A. M. De Girolamo +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple water balance model that partitions precipitation between actual evapotranspiration, quick flow and delayed flow has been used to estimate the frequency of ecologically critical low flow stages in semi-arid rivers.
Review of applied statistical methods for flood frequency analysis in Europe: WG2 of COST Action ES0901
Attilio Castellarin,Silvia Kohnová,L. Gaal,A Fleig,Jose Luis Salinas,A. Toumazis,Thomas Kjeldsen,Neil Macdonald +7 more
TL;DR: The main objective of the COST Action ES0901 European procedure for flood frequency estimation (FloodFreq, http://www.cost-floodfreq.eu/), which started in 2010, is to undertake a pan-European comparison and evaluation of methods for flooding frequency estimation under various climatologic and geographic conditions found in Europe, and different levels of data availability, as required by European Flood Directive (2007/60/EC).
Journal ArticleDOI
On the use of a four-parameter kappa distribution in regional frequency analysis
TL;DR: In this article, a four-parameter kappa distribution with the widely used regional goodness-of-fit methods as part of an index flood regional frequency analysis based on the method of L-moments is presented.
