| Authors: | J. H. Barrett |
| Abstract: | An extreme value analysis of the flow of Burbage Brook is carried out by modelling peaks over a high threshold. The aims are to illustrate recently developed statistical techniques and to report on interesting features of the flow of the brook over a 58-year period. Peak flows are found to show marked seasonal variation and a downward trend. Then-year return level is estimated for various values ofn, and the reliability of the estimates is assessed. |
| Keywords: | Extreme values Generalized Pareto Distribution maximum likelihood peaks over threshold return levels river flows |
