Abstract :
Accurate estimation of flood frequency is needed in many hydraulic designs such as dams, culverts and urban drainage systems. Different approaches were presented which use conventional moments to extract order statistics such as mean, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis. Due to problems arising from data quality, such as short record and outliers, conventional moments are problematic.
