Estimation of generalized pareto distribution from censored flood samples using partial L-Moments

The use of partial L-moments (PL-moments) for estimating hydrological extremes censored data is compared to that of simple L-moments. Expressions of parameter estimation are derived to fit the generalized Pareto (GP) distribution based on PL-moments approach. A Monte Carlo analysis examined the samp...
