Fitting extreme value distributions to the Zambezi river flood water levels recorded at Katima Mulilo in Namibia
Kamwi, Innocent Silibelo (University of the Western Cape, 2005)The aim of this research project was to estimate parameters for the distribution of annual maximum flood levels for the Zambezi River at Katima Mulilo. The estimation of parameters was done by using the maximum likelihood ... -
Fitting extreme value distributions to the Zambezi River flood water levels recorded at Katima Mulilo in Namibia (1965-2003)
Kamwi, Innocent Silibelo (University of the Western Cape, 2005)This study sought to identify and fit the appropriate extreme value distribution to flood data, using the method of maximum likelihood. To examine the uncertainty of the estimated parameters and evaluate the goodness of ...
