Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2000 It is well known that the computation of higher order statistics, like skewness and kurtosis, (which we call C-moments) is very dependent on sample size and is highly susceptible to the presence of outliers. To obviate these difficulties, Hosking (1990) has introduced related statistics called L-moments.

Hydrological regionalization of maximum stream flows using an approach based on L-moments [PDF]
RBRH, 2017 The proper design of hydraulic structures depends on estimates of maximum stream flows. The scarce stream flow monitoring in Brazil has led to the use of regionalization methods.

Comparing TL-Moments, L-Moments and Conventional Moments of Dagum Distribution by Simulated data [PDF]
Revista Colombiana de Estadística, 2013 Modeling income, wage, wealth, expenditure and various other social variables have always been an issue of great concern. The Dagum distribution is considered quite handy to model such type of variables. Our focus in this study is to derive the L-moments

The Influence Functions and Breakdown Points of the L-Moments, Tl-Moments and the LQ-Moments Estimators [PDF]
The Egyptian Statistical Journal, 2011 The L-moments are defined as linear combinations of expected values of order statistics of an absolutely continuous random variable, (Hosking 1990).

The Properties of L-moments Compared to Conventional Moments [PDF]
, 2009 In this thesis, we survey the concept of L-moments. We introduce the deflnition of L-moments and the probability weighted moments (PWMs) and then we expressed the L-moments by the use of the probability weighted moments. Also, we established the relation between the L-moments and the order statistic. Moreover, we introduced some of the properties the L-

L moment diagrams for censored observations [PDF]
Water Resources Research, 1998 Observed data sets containing values above or below the analytical threshold of measuring equipment are referred to as censored. Such data are frequently encountered in quality and quantity monitoring applications of water, soil, and air samples. Most of the previous literature on the statistical analysis of censored data relates to the problems of ...

The Inverse Transformation of L-Hermite Model and Its Application in Structural Reliability Analysis
Mathematics, 2022 In probabilistic analysis, random variables with unknown distributions are often appeared when dealing with practical engineering problem. A Hermite normal transformation model has been proposed to conduct structural reliability assessment without the ...

Drought Analysis of the Seyhan Basin by Using Standardized Precipitation Index SPI and L-moments
Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016 The aim of this study is to monitor drought in the Seyhan Basin by using Standardized Precipitation Index SPI based on a long term monthly precipitation of 11 meteorological stations and secondly, to also carry out regional frequency analysis using the

Median Moments with Application to Location-Scale Family of Distributions [PDF]
The Egyptian Statistical Journal, 2005 Model fitting is one of the basic activities in statistical analysis. Classical estimation methods such as method of moments and least squares are not robust. They are sensitive to outliers, to other contamination in the data, or to incorrect assumptions
