Explores extreme values in random variables, applications in environmental factors, reliability modeling, block maxima distribution, and the Generalized Extreme Value distribution.
Covers methods to define the design storm, empirical distribution of rainfall maxima, Gumbel distribution, and intensity-duration-frequency relationships.
Explores constructing confidence regions, inverting hypothesis tests, and the pivotal method, emphasizing the importance of likelihood methods in statistical inference.
Explores the application of probability and statistics in hydrologic design, covering topics such as return period, risk assessment, and empirical data analysis.
