Abstract
Some statistics of historical and simulated flood sequences were examined in real and log space. It was found that several statistical properties of floods in real space could not be inferred from those in log space without extensive knowledge of the distribution of floods in real space as well as information about their sampling characteristics. It is shown that the construction and use of regional skew maps in log space are most likely counterproductive.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
