Summary
Bivariate or multivariate frequency analysis entails univariate distributions that are determined by empirical fitting to data. The fitting, in turn, requires the determination of distribution parameters and the assessment of the goodness of fit. In practical applications, such as hydrologic design, risk analysis is also needed. The objective of this chapter, therefore, is to briefly discuss these basic elements, which are needed for frequency analysis and will be needed in subsequent chapters.
