Denote , Y ln X then Y has a normal or Gaussian distribution given by: f ( y) 1 2 2 y e 1 y y 2 y 2 , y (1) WFM 5201: Data Management and Statistical Analysis © Dr. Akm Saiful Islam Derived distribution: Since Y ln X , dy 1 dx x the distribution of X can be found as: dy (2) 1 1 1 f ( x) f ( y ) e e 1 y y 2 y dx 2 y2 2 1 y y 2 y x 2 2x 2 y2 Note that equation (1) gives the distribution of Y as a normal distribution with mean y and variance y2 . Equation (2) gives the distribution of X as the lognormal distribution with parameters y and y2 .

Calculate the magnitude of the 100-year peak flood. WFM 5201: Data Management and Statistical Analysis © Dr. Akm Saiful Islam Solution: The 100-year peak flow corresponds to a prob(X > x) of 0.01. X must be evaluated such that Px(x) = 0.99. This can accomplished by evaluating Z such that Pz(z)=0.99 and then transforming to X. From the standard normal tables the value of Z corresponding to Pz(Z) of 0.99 is 2.326. y sy z y The values of Sy and y are given y 0.30395 (2.326 ) 11.0737 11.781 x exp( y) 130 ,700 cfs The 100-year peak flow according to the lognormal distribution is about 1,30,700 cfs. WFM 5201: Data Management and Statistical Analysis © Dr. Akm Saiful Islam Extreme Value Distributions Many times interest exists in extreme events such as the maximum peak discharge of a stream or minimum daily flows. The probability distribution of a set of random variables is also a random variable. The probability distribution of this extreme value random variable will in general depend on the sample size and the parent distribution from which the sample was obtained.

Usually logarithms to base 10 are used. The mean , standard deviation , and coefficient of skewness, Cs are calculated for the logarithms of the data. The frequency factor depends on the return period and the coefficient of skewness . When , C s 0 the frequency factor is equal to the standard normal variable z . When ,C s 0 is approximated by Kite (1977) as 1 3 1 5 2 2 3 4 K T z ( z 1)k ( z 6 z )k ( z 1)k zk k 3 3 2 WFM 5201: Data Management and Statistical Analysis © Dr. Akm Saiful Islam Example-4: Calculate the 5- and 50-year return period annual maximum discharges of the Gaudalupe River near Victoria, Texas, using the lognormal and log-pearson Type III distributions. The data in cfs from 1935 to 1978 are given below.

Another feature of the results is that the 50-year return period estimates are about three times as large as the 5-year return period estimates; for this example, the increase in the estimated flood discharges is less than proportional to the increase in return period.
